Refined grains like white flour, sure. Sugar, yeah definitely.
But carbs themselves are not bad for you, and indeed things like whole grains, legumes, and root vegetables are great for you. In general, carb-rich things have a tendency to be fiber-rich things, which is good because people don't tend to get enough fiber in a Western diet.
Carb-dense foods are generally less filling that lean meats with similar numbers of calories.
Your milage may vary, but I find 250 kCal of chicken much more filling than 250 kCal of bread (and bread is of course much more filling than a 250 kCal donut, which is in turn more filling than a 250 kCal orange juice).

Maybe so. Honestly, as long as you're getting enough nutrients and are the weight you want, then to each his own as far as I'm concerned.
Oh, on that note, necro, you probably know this already, but make sure you're drinking a lot of water throughout the day. In addition to helping you stay hydrated, it will help you feel fuller through the day.
