Hi Amy! Welcome to our area of the boards
SB is definitely NOT a low carb diet, though many think it is, but it's surely not. SB recommends that approx 40% of your daily intake come in the way of carbs, but it's the kind of carbs that makes SB different. You want to eat whole grains, not the stripped versions. You CAN eat whole wheat pasta, brown rice, whole grain bread, cereals like Fiber One, sweet potatoes and much much more. It's a WOE you can easily follow for the rest of your life.
I think one of the best sites to go to for a good overview is:

Please, feel free to join us on our SB WEEKLY SUPPORT BOARDS where we congregate - you'll get lots of answers to your questions on the board from all our members who would be delighted to through you our 2 cents worth
If you have any other questions, you can also e-mail me at

GOOD LUCK!
Debbie
