> vegetables with no carbs
Unless you're eating something that's (almost) 100% cellulose, that's not correct. Most plants have carbs

Hah, I didn't meant it as: "vegetables with no carbs", but "stick to protein and vegetables, with no carbs and sugars in general".
That is, no carby foods, carbs like pasta, bread, et al.
I painfully know how many carbs are in each vegetable (and net cars, minus fiber etc), as I've followed some low-carb diets.

Cellulose is a carbohydrate too.

Chemically I'm not sure, but it amounts to dietary fiber as it's not digestible by humans

From http://www.rsc.org/Education/Teachers/Resources/cfb/carbohyd...
> Carbohydrates (also called saccharides) are molecular compounds made from just three elements: carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Monosaccharides (e.g. glucose) and disaccharides (e.g. sucrose) are relatively small molecules. They are often called sugars. Other carbohydrate molecules are very large (polysaccharides such as starch and cellulose).
I wish people would stop hating on "carbs" and redirect their disdain to sugars / small carbohydrates.

Fiber is carbohydrate also, but one that is not digestible by humans.

you aware that your brain needs carbs. even tho fat can be transformed it is also musle that is converted to carbs when you dont eat enough carbs
I doubt so.
If you stick to protein and vegetables with no carbs and sugars in general, you get lots of filling fiber, and fewer calories, unless they consume huge quantities of lard or bacon every day, or drink sugars (e.g. in juices or sodas), etc.
So those people are doing something wrong.
