I'm sorry- just getting annoyed with all the carb threads I am reading today. Yes I know, not everyone can eat them- but they are not "BAD" for you. Taking myself case and point- I eat them, and have lost almost 20 lbs. Let's show the carbs a little love! :)

    I'm with you! Whether it's in bread or pasta or my awesome fruits and veggies; I couldn't live without my carbs. For some reason they have received a bad rap over the last several years, but carbs in and of themselves are not the enemy. Eating too much is the enemy. It is just as possible to lose weight eating them as not and better for energy sustenance as well.

    I love carbs (and I happen to eat bananas and potatoes regularly, which are supposedly especially evil)

    You need carbs to survive... I'm not sure what people are getting their panties in a twist for.
    Great post :D

    I lost a lot of weight eating carbs every day, but I don't eat them much at all anymore. It's not because I think they're bad for me. It's just that after experimenting with a low-carb diet for several months, I realized that I feel better when I eat a cleaner diet. I don't think anyone should do low-carb if they know they can't stick with it forever. It is absolutely possible to lose weight and still eat bread and potatoes and pasta and rice.

    ^ That's pretty much my slogan. No food is off limits, especially not carbs.

    Gah! You said Double Stuff! Now I'm thinking about them. That is one of the foods I just cannot have in the house. I've mastered most areas of eating, but if I eat one of those things, I'm eating the whole freaking bag!

    I've had a bagel every morning for the past 2 weeks and pasta quite often. Guess what, I haven't gain a pound. I ♥ carbs.

    I eat plenty of carbs all the time, including something sweet most nights (latest thing has been girl scout or keebler grasshopper cookies). Carbs are perfectly fine in moderation.

    Great thread BTW, tired of the carb bashing ones too.
