Answer 1

dont cut them out..muscles need both carbs and protein to survive...just keep it in moderation,,,workout doing cardio and toning exercises 5 days /week

Answer 2

you can eat complex carbs like 100% whole wheat breads, whole wheat muffins and bagels, whole wheat pasta, brown rice, quinoa, oatmeal, barley, oat bran,.

here's a website you can to for more examples: http://www.iloveindia.com/nutrition/carb...

Answer 3

Just stay away from refined carbs like white flour, and sugary things. Eat plenty of whole grains. Cutting carbs will not make you lose weight in a healthy way. Especially as a veggie (I'm one too =) we need our whole grains, beans, nuts, seeds, etc. to get the right nutrients.

If you watch your calories and eat a balanced diet most of time (still eat chocolate of course!), and exercise, that's how you lose weight.
