The key is to choose those carbs that is best for you--complex carbs, like beans, whole grains, fruits and vegetables, avoiding high-sugar, processed foods like cake.Not only is refined carbs low nutritional value, higher in calories, but that doesn't leave you feeling as complex carbs sated. That's why we tend to eat too much of what we are trying to feel satisfied, and of course, eat a lot of sweetened cereal, tons of white bread and pasta Bowl under pressure is certainly not going to help you lose weight.
If you don't like whole grains now, try different varieties and add a fruit or veg every meal if you are not meeting your daily minimum. Enjoy carbs--and other types of "banned" food--in moderation will keep you from feeling deprived that can help to stop overeating.
Tip: Add fat in a serving of carb will help you feel fuller longer (Reach for the whole grain bread and a tablespoon of peanut butter, b.c.)
