On my actual 'diet', which I did about 4 years ago, I had no clue what I was doing other than 'eat 1500 calories'. I ate 1500 cals (I was 5'4, 170) of what most fitness forum folk would insist was 'crap' - healthy choice and lean cuisines and 'diet' ice cream. Lost 35# that way, then transitioned into 40/40/30 'clean' for the last 10 pounds. So yes, you can eat lots of carbs and lose weight. You might be hungrier tho - I was STARVING most of the time!
If upping carbs, at least make them high fiber carbs - I eat a lot of oat bran but hardly any bread except for the occasional ezekiel.

(where in california are you? I see we are close to the same age and both in cali..
