It is hard to just say what is good and bad everything is good for you in moderation. May I suggest the south beach diet book? It has a all the info you need with out having to make you feel like I need to count this or that. Good luck!

Sugar & gluten (breads, pasta) are pretty much the main source of carbs in anyone's diet.

Your body has two sources of energy--carbs & fat, & it burns carbs first. So when you lessen your carb intake your body is forced to burn fat for energy. A simplistic explanation but that's basically the relation.
