Well I have a paper journal that I counted everything in for about 60 days, then for the last 60 days, I just know what I can have, and have increased my carbs along the way. Once you are close to your goal, which can be anywhere fron 20 to 5 pounds, I figure you should be able to eat lots of allowable veggies and fruits, I don't beleive anyone got fat on veggies, right?
But in saying that, if I was to eat Pasta, spuds, bread on a daily basis, YEP I'd be counting the carbs again.

Then , LOL, that being said, I do eat bread 2-3 times a week (11 carbs), fresh new potatoes 1-2 a week, but no pasta, no rice, no white flour, no sugar. Those once I'm at my goal MAY be a once a month thing, if even that.
Gee sorry to go on here

Cheers Kathy
