i feel like i need to know. everytime i go grocery shopping they also have diet/low fat versions of products and THEN they have low carb. they even have low carb slimfast.

i already cut dairy and soda out of my diet because everyone said that's really good for being healthy and skin/weight loss. but do i need to worry about carbs too?

i buy a lot of products that have lots of carbs in them. i buy kashi products, which are advertised to be really healthy.. and they have tons of carbs in them.

so why do people look out for carbs? do i need to start buying foods that are low in carbs?

please be very simple and specific, i don't want to know the life history of the diet. just want to know what are carbs and stuff like that

Welcome to old dieting trends darling.

People look out for carbs because they're on the Atkins diet. I haven't read anything on the Atkins diet, and I'm not going to look it up, all I know is my dad makes us buy whole wheat everything if we're going to buy bread.
I hear it works. A lot of people in my family have tried it and lost weight. I would never be able to do that though.

i love trends so i feel like i should be informed

yeah I see Atkins everywhere I go. and South Beach Diet. I like whole wheat bread though, yum!
