But now I find out that apples, for example, are fairly high in carbs. If you have known me at all, you know that I adore green Granny Smith apples. Woe is me.

Sweet potatoes are the best! I have to say I don't think the carb thing is an issue. Obviously it's not good to eat a loaf of bread, but I think the health factor in fruits, veggies, whole grains, sweet potatoes, etc. is greater than the carb factor. If you were only targeting carbs, it would change a lot more of the way you're eating. I think in the long run though, an overall healthy eating attitude is more realistic than trying to avoid carbs
i agree with katie! apples (and all fruits) have carbs, but they also have a lot of fiber and nutrients. remember -- eating healthy isn't just about weight loss! it's about actual health/nutrition too!
