People don't need to eliminate anything. They need to control the amounts of them. As c-luv said, it is just a math thing. No carbs, is ridiculous since vegetables are carbs. The right carbs is a good thing. Like Amelia, I aim to eat slow burning, energy sustaining carbs which are the kind grouped into Low GI. It isnt' something I did on purpose but as I have insulin issues and that is essentially a diabetic friendly way of eating (low gi carb burn slower and help to control your insulin resulting in you feel full for longer). Plus, the Low GI choices tend to just be healthier foods anyway. None of which is about 'fadding' as it is about nourishing your body. People need calories, people need carbs, people even need fat. However, with all of these things they need the right kinds of them and not to be shoving down a doughnut and figuring that counts as the carbs, calories and fat.
