Carb question

I know that I should avoid too many refined and processed foods, like white bread and bagels, but I cannot stand the taste of whole or multi-grain foods.

I can't cut carbs out of my diet completely, so in terms of grains, what are some good carbs to focus on? I know that fruits and potatoes are full of carbs.

Re: Carb question

I'm curious about this too. I love whole grain breads and brown rice. Not to mention fruits!

Re: Carb question

I eat ww pasta, ww breads, ww wraps- sweet potatoes.

I can not live without carbs so I fig this is a better way of eating them.

You can try LOW carb item, i believe they have those options in breads and wraps....and there is a healthy pasta that is better than a ww one.

Some good sources of carbohydrates are brown basmati rice, sweet potatoes, quinoa, squash, buckwheat, popcorn, oatmeal, bulgar, barley, rye, wild rice, beans and lentils.

I eat a lot of beans. I put them in my salads and on top of my bunless turkey burgers. I also roast chickpeas until they are crunchy for a snack. Just sprinkle rinsed chickpeas with olive oil and your favorite seasonings, bake at 200 for about 2 hours, stirring every 15 minutes. It may take less time, based on how crunchy you like them.

Try the high fiber pasta. The whole wheat stuff is nasty. This tastes the same as regular pasta.
