Veggie carbs are different than processed carbs. I was referring to things such as doritos, potato chips, etc... The only veggie I find being the enemy is okra - and oh yeah, brussel sprouts. Veggie carbs are processed differently in the body and don't have the same effect as the other carbs. BUT, they are carbs and there should be a daily intake of them as well.
If you're going to eat carbs, stay away from the whites - white bread, white rice, pasta ... yadda yadda. All that goes right to the stomach.
When I lost all that weight I put on many years ago, it was because I limited my bad carb intake. I also made sure that if I did eat bad carbs, I worked out and worked it off.
