Like anything else, complex carbohydrates are not the demon. Over-eating is the demon. I spit on the bogus claims of Atkins, which has encouraged people to stay away from high-fibre food.

as i said. we are all different. i was slim and healthy for a long time on a low fat, high carb diet.
then, at age 45 or so, my lipids stated to blow out and my weight went up and my pancreas decided to go on strike.
now i am healthier than i have been for years. i have lost weight and kept it off for three years by simply restricting carbs to 30-50 grams per day.
the good thing about this is i can eat fat and protein and it makes me full and keeps me full. now i just keep eating until i am no longer hungry.
so, in my case, the only number i have to watch is the amount of carbs i eat.
