> "it's often good to leave out carbs simply because it is so easy to overeat carbs"
Great truth. I find that carbs go through my system like a water slide - I get hungry fast, and that in turn leads to overeating.
A chunk of meat, while not being exactly low on calories (I pick lean cuts) and has a lot more fat than bread, lasts me a lot longer, and reduces cravings by an incredible amount.
For me that's the main benefit - I'm not particularly concerned with whether or not carbs are good for you, all I know is that on carb-heavy diets I eat more.
