Of course, these are 'good' carbs (whole grains, veggies, etc) ..
Anyways, am having no problems maintaining a 45 pound weight loss, my blood pressure is outrageously low and so is my cholesterol. My good cholesterol is high, bad cholesterol very low - might have something to do with two bowls of oatmeal a day. LOL.
I could not maintain a low carb lifestyle - it's just not for me. I think an earlier poster is correct -there's a difference between a ' eat good carbs, skip sugar/white flour, eat lean meats etc' and 'I can eat this whole box of snackwells because it's fat free'. LOL!

150 "net" carbs is extremelly low still in comparison to what the average person eats.
