Counting carbs is for suckers. Your body needs carbs. What you should be counting is your sodium levels. Most food contains excessively high amounts of sodium that contributes to weight gain and hypertension. You can burn off carbs by doing moderate physical activity. Sodium on the other hand has acute physiological effects that are not great in high doses.

Sodium response is a lot more complicated than that, and a more accurate metric is probably dietary sodium:potassium ratio.
