I know, but it frustrates me when people blanket say "stop eating carbs" plenty of instagrammers say that they've "quit sugar". When its just that they've quit simple processed sugars.

It sends the wrong message that carbs and sugar are bad, then they're not as long as you're not eating multiple chocolate bars.

Replying to 2 of your comments. I phrased "stop eating carbs" in the manner I had to speak to myself when first improving my diet because I HAD to use that kind of casual/humorous/forceful language. I agree I should have clarified that I really meant to restrict high glycemic index foods, but my comment was already very long and wasn't aware this specific phrasing would be so heavily scrutinized.
