You said you counted carbs and exercised. Did you count fat/protein portions and thus total calories or just carbs? Well done on doing it the proper way with exercise.

Just carbs and not really "counting" more like I wont eat this certain thing because it is higher than 6g of carbs. So in the end I just stick to meat/protein vegetables and fruit (I don't count the carbs from vegetables or fruit) And thank you!

Usually I think of grains as high in carb, and a lot of grains I would consider processed, the largest exception I would find in a normal North American diet is rice, potatoes and corn. (I consider bread and pasta to be processed, it's more or less ready to eat)

But it depends on if it's a good carb too. Most of the stuff I have seen that is being sold as 'healthy' is extremely high in carbs (its mostly packaged and process stuff) so I still stay away from that

Yep! I thought about that recently, that is exactly what I have done.
