Carbohydrate counting is a common diet that limits the use of simple carbohydrate foods, such as sugar, and encourages protein and complex carbohydrate meals. Even though carbohydrates are part of the energy creation mechanism in metabolism, as reported by the Harvard School of Public Health, overeating of carbohydrate-loaded foods can lead to weight gain. Many books offer recipes, restaurant eating guides and information on how to learn to count carbohydrates and manage lower carb eating.
