Fruit.

Some more: celery root, rutabaga, African yams.

Great suggestions! Except for fruit... I'm better keeping sugar to a minimum (even fructose) - it affects my sleep too much.

Have you tried quinoa?

I used to eat it all the time - but I stopped because it's a grain... (I read an article that said it's okay but still not great). Does it work for you?

I'll make a big pot of beef stew and use either turnips, parsnips, or rutabaga instead of potatoes. Can't even tell the difference.

Rice if you need the calories.

I find white rice very benign. I'd say that if you have issues with white rice, you have issues with glucose and carbs in general.

If I dont eat moderate carb I get depressed and incredibly tired. I'm convinced it f*cks with my thyroid. Anyways,

Carb staples in our house are:

Spaghetti squash
butternut squash
Plantain
Sweet potatoes
pumpkin (usually to make a primal type pudding for dessert on my heavy lift days)
bananas
and white potatoes....yup, a lot of them too. And I've seen no issue with them. I don't really understand the fear of them in the paleo community.
