Everything in moderation. I don't think no carbs is healthy.

Keep the carbs! Just learn what is a good carb and a bad carb. Good carbs are mostly Veggies, Fruit and high fiber grains. Bad Carbs are sugar stuff and flower based breads. You want a balance diet. I have done the high protien and went over board on the protien. Every food has it's place.

Hey there.
About the carbs, my personal trainer suggests that one should eat about 200g of carbs a day, and only from high fiber grains such as bran and wheat germ, and fruits and veggies for sure.
It's just a matter of increasing the protein and lowering the fat and carbs to moderate levels...
Hope this helps! :)

thank you all because that's
one of my set backs, knowing
what to eat and what carbs not to eat.

Eat carbs but watch them- I use sparkpeople.com to count calories and it keeps track of my carbs.

The problem with low or no carb is it isn't practical. You will loose weight, but unless you plan on staying carb-free forever, it'll screw you up later.
