Where The Heck Are Your Carbs Coming From? page 3

[Scott F]

I eat a little but not eat much fruit. Since fructose is the key to turning on the fat storage switch, I usually choose fruits low in fructose. Most of my starchy carbs come from tubers like baked white potatoes since eat out most days. I'd prefer baked sweet potatoes but no restaurants around here offers them. So the later is mostly eaten at home. Right up with there non-starchy veggies. I eat a lot of salads, broccoli, and cabbage. I don't eat much legumes, including green beans and peas. I might eat a few corn chips and a little rice at a Mexican restaurant.

here's a typical day's worth of carbs for me



it's not hard to reconcile the pyramid with carb-dense foods.

What did you pour a 1/4 cup of honey on?

Currently my intake of carbs is around 120-150 a day..All be great complex carbs: sweet potatoes, yams, wild rice, brown rice, some 100% whole grain whole wheat bread( ya not all of you may not agree with bread but its ok really, to me at least)

perhaps you should do more reseach about wheat, as its nothing even near its original state. Also when whole grains are pulverized they have even more of an effect on blood glucose. But hey, I'm not knocking you. A lot of people on eatcleanlifthard.com eat whole wheat bread and they look great. You are obviously seeing good results. But this still is a paleo diet forum

yea true @bennettc..i most likely will be taking bread out once i run threw these two loaves..and yea i havent done much research behind wheat but i do know my body does benefit from it slightly

[BennettC]

perhaps a 30 day experiment for you? lol but most people do best with whole oats or rice as they are the least offensive. also most bread nowadays contains soy which is dangerous unless your getting it from someone who makes fresh bread. but anyways different people tolerate different things

I eat mine with a spoon.

True whole oats take 40 minutes to cook by the way. Anything less than that are refined oats.

I used to cook my steel cut oats for only 10 minutes because I loved the hardness. Bad?

[BennettC]

nah you can eat em raw if you wanted to. the less porridge like they are the less affect on blood glucose
