Carbs also come in different level / discription you have simple carbs and complex carbs...simple carbs are bad and raise blood sugar levels really high, then dip lower than before, which leaves you craving sweet things or bread etccc Complex carbs are found in things like fruit and veg and these brake down, more slowly which gives you the full feeling for longer.
if you have to have bread, pasta etc i would go for wholegrain, whole wheat
I will be doing a low carb low gi diet after doing this as i know my trigger food are bread cakes choc etc!!!
Can you tell i have been doing research lol

Its amazing how diets have changed over the years. It was always low fat, low fat, low fat...I'd never even heard of low carb diets until the last few years. Obviously low fat does work as Tracy is proof of that, but a lot of people are intolerent to carbs and I am one of them. My mum has dieted her whole life and struggled. I had a look in her fridge and her low fat yogurt had a HUGE amount of carbs from sugars. She has since started taking note of carbs and has lost 1 stone in three weeks....not even doing LT or CD.

For me ...i just tried to look at what i ate whilst i was thin ...and i had ibs so was told to stay away from pasta, wheat etcc.... so for me now looking back i was on a low carb diet ate alot of chicken, salad veg fish and meat xxx i hope i am right
You could try both ways and see if you gain a little weight or not

What are the differences between simple and complex carbohydrates, and which should be avoided on a low-carb diet? Do liquid carbohydrates count?
Many people are confused about the differences between simple and complex carbohydrates and many popular diet books seem to only make it more confusing.
Carbohydrates are one of three macronutrients in our diets that provide calories. The other two are protein and fat. Carbohydrates provide most of the energy needed in our daily lives, both for normal body functions such as heartbeat, breathing and digestion and for exercise such as cycling, walking and running.
Carbohydrates are considered simple or complex based upon their chemical structure and both types contain four calories per gram. Both are also digested into a blood sugar called glucose, which is then used to fuel our bodies for work or exercise.
In the past few years, simple carbohydrates have become known as the 'bad' carbs, while complex carbs seem to be designated as the 'good' ones. Although this is based on more hype than science, here are the reasons why:

- Simple carbohydrates are digested quickly. Many simple carbohydrates contain refined sugars and few essential vitamins and minerals. Examples include fruits, fruit juice, milk, yoghurt, honey, molasses and sugar.
- Complex carbohydrates take longer to digest and are usually packed with fibre, vitamins and minerals. Examples are vegetables, breads, cereals, legumes and pasta.
