Thats where the carbs are coming from and not healthy carbs. -------------- Scales are for dead weight: We are not dead yet! Still trying to find out how to do the Hollywood Free Press.

	2005/02/25, 05:39 AM stay away from juices...most people think they are healthy but actually they are just empty calories/simple carbs...which ruin your diet.... stay away from any products which have 'hydrogenrate/partially hydrogenated soybean/corn/etc oil'.....look under ingedients...they are usually near the top....these are the other names for TRANS fats from which you need to stay away..commonly found in cookies, crackers, chips, annd many of the processed foods, even those you wouldn't think off... also think of your meals not simply as X amount of carbs but also as X amount of calories....because bottom line it's the net calories that make you gain or lose weight......you need X amount of calories a day for a particular goal...of which ABC has to be carbs, proteins, and fats...etc.
