The carbohydrate argument continued

OK, I'm not trying to start an argument here, merely put forward my point of view. I really do not see how it is possible to limit yourself to 20g of carbs a day. Here's why. Before I even have any normal food I'm at 9 carbs. Protein drink = 3g, tums = 2g, multivit = 4g. In addition here are the per portion carb counts for the following healthy foods many seem to recommend (I only like the bread LOL): Non Fat Milk = 12g Non Fat Cottage Cheese = 6g Non Fat Yogurt = 19g Dry Oatmeal Cereal = 18g Watermelon = 35g Banana = 29g Whole wheat bread = 13g Grapenuts = 23g So even the healthiest, least flavorful or enjoyable foods are carb loaded.
