    Agreed, sugars are truly evil. Avoid them like the plague. They were never a significant part of our diet throughout human existance until recent history and this is when our health really began to deteriorate.
    If you are cutting starches are unnecessary except for a carb-up meal if you choose to utilize them. Starches are low in nutrients in comparison to their carbohydrate content. When cutting all carbs should ideally be from fibrous greens.
    Calories do count as well but you really should eat/avoid the right/wrong foods to lose fat and spare muscle, eating the right foods allows this by setting up a hormonal response in the body that is optimal for fat burning.

    Well said...except for a newbies sake I'd like to clairify and say that carb-ups should be used, approximately twice weekly, when following a low carb diet in order to prevent thyroid down-regulation.

    Sugar has its place in post workout recovery. But that debate could be its own thread. If you must consume sugars try to do so in the early morning or post workout
