The reason I don't count carbs isn't because I find it too difficult (I don't think anyone would be trying to insult my intelligence)....I just don't want or feel I need to. I make sure I know the carbs of what I eat, remember the figures, and try and lead an otherwise normal life. Counting everything you put in your mouth, for the rest of your life, is not living...but that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.
