In my personal experience, I can eat fewer calories and be satisfied with low carb foods and lots of veggies. But, if you want carbs and can manage your calories, then you'll do just fine. If might not be "optimum," but if "optimum" leads to binging or being miserable, then it ceases to be optimum.

Thanks for the advice LostDog. It's nice to hear a different point of view about carbs. I definitely eat fewer calories when I eat more protein, so maybe I should just focus on that benefit, rather than just proclaiming that carbs are the enemy. Maybe I can just focus on high protein foods, and not worry so much about how many carbs are in the food. Good tip. Thanks.
