Question Body for Life and diet question

I began BFL yesterday, but was wondering about the diet part of the program. I believe it has way too many carbs, so I intend to use PP and increase carbs to about 60 for the diet part. Does that sound reasonable, too high, too low? Has anyone else had any experience with this?

Also, I believe that I read somewhere that higher carbs AND high fat are a problem. If I increase the carbs to 60, should I decrease the fat -- limit fatty meats, butter, mayo, cheese, etc? I intend to get MOST of the carbs from veggies and some fruit, with maybe an occasional whole wheat toast or small dish of whole wheat pasta or brown rice. If I do that, should I lower the fat by leaving the butter off the toast and rice, use tomatoes on the pasta (no Alfredo sauce), etc.? Or would I be better off just using veggies and fruit for the additional carbs and not using grains at all?

I would greatly appreciate any input.

Thanks!
