I love leangains, It's very easy for me and it works well. I can't say I gain much strength like some people do while losing weight but I don't lose strength much either. Big meals are satisfying and I'm not hungry while I fast. For carbs I have sweet potato, white potato, healthy harvest ww pasta, flat outs wraps, quinoa, rice white or brown, oats..lots of oats. milk. That's pretty much it as far as carbs. You know what though? Now that I think about it I'm not bloated when I have these carbs on leangains. I get bloated when I have a cheat day and eat pizza or sushi or ice cream or some shit, so you are absolutely right, it must be crappy carbs that make me bloated. When I have a cheat day I need like a week to lose all the water I soak up. making diet now..
