I eat carbs - I sometimes eat quite a lot and I'll see a gain of 1-2 lb overnight but a day of eating lower carb usually sorts that out. Some carbs seem OK like potato or rice but sometimes if I eat too much of them I will see a gain - or perhaps it is when I mix them. I love Indian food so potatoes and rice feature together quite a lot, but I have been trying to avoid the poppadoms and naan bread. But Indian food can be quite oily in restaurants too so it could be that. Either way, I just have to be careful and have a low carb day next day and it's usually OK.

It is very much experimentation when you get past the P2 phase and introducing things slowly. Bread seems OK if I eat dark wholemeal or rye - white bread makes me gain (and it affects a lot of other people too from what I've read).
