Iif I eat carbs - even good carbs - I gain weight.
Some people loves working out and they will eat more carbs so they can exercise...
But if yu plan to lose weight... then you may need to limit calories and carbs more than you do now.

The body has a lot of stored carbs... it may take days or 2 weeks to work it out (unless you exercise).
I know it is not fair... But that's why some of us got fat... we did not really eat too much..
My body hate losing. And loses gaining.
I am almost 4 years out. maintenance. And I am app 163 lbs... muscles and bones... with some fat (20%?) size 6-8.
what I ate today:
1/2 cup sunflower seeds (raw - I don't digest them very well... know for fact - so count 1/4 cup as real food)
coffee + coconut milk (1/2 cup)
protein shake with 1 TBS of almond butter
3 protein cookies (total 240 cal, 24 gr proteins, 9 -10 gr fiber, 16 gr fat, and net 6 gr carbs - that's for 3 cookies)
pork loin (baked, no carbs, some fat - not much)
quest bar (3 gr net carbs, 20 gr proteins,6 fat)
tea and water. Vitamins and minerals.
Once I get home - late - I plan to have chicken and green beans...
exercise : walking - 30 min + hose cleaning, laundry, stairs.
It is not much I maintain on that. or lose very slowly. If I eat more - I gain. If I want to lose- I need to eat less...
When I maintain - I do not limit how much lean proteins and non starchy veggies I eat. But then again - if I eat dense proteins and veggies.. I have a lot of restriction... so I don't really eat much of that... But when I want to lose (If I gain some due to carbs ) I first decarb - 2 weeks. Then measure portions and eat on a clock. And stop before I am full.
I lost over 100 lbs in less than 10 months because I could not eat much... I was happy if I could eat 800 cal... Had to work hard to be able to eat 1000-1200
I am not saying it is your fault - or that you are doing something wrong.. but some of us make too much insulin. (I know I do) and insulin is designed to store any carbs... and prevent fat loss...
It is not fair... but that' why some of us need the drastic surgery.
Check the BOTT group - for people *****gained and try to lose... and see how many of us have to restrict calories very drastically to lose weight...
