Spot on Heather. As a vegetarian I obviously never eat meat or animal fats and do munch lots of carbs, mainly in the form of vegetables but also rice and potatoes too. I have no problems maintaining my weight eating this way. The only thing I find is I get bloating when I overdo the fruit which I often do as I love fruit but it always goes by next morning.
You soon learn what makes your body feel heavy and lethargic, for some that maybe carbs for others that maybe meat it is all about finding what works for you.
