good carbs

Hi,

  Can someone please give me some suggestions for the good carbs I read in one of the posts. I was trying to find a cereal in the store last night and only found them with very High carbs.  What do you eat that keeps you within the good carbs?  thanks.

 

I eat my veggies for carbs..broccoli, baby carrots, peppers, green beans....any non-starchy veggie.

That's just me though. I stay away from potatoes, rice, bread, and pasta. I know not all do but that's me and my nutritionist.

Best wishes.

 Vegetables, small amt of fresh fruit, beans, skim milk. I stay away from bread, potato, rice, pasta but sometimes have a bite. quinua (sp?) is also a high protein carb, but I have only had once. I dont eat cereal - didnt even before surgery b/c it is very high in carbs (unless it is All Bran or Fiber One, but cant imagine eating more than 1/4 cup now).

There's carbs in pretty much everything from cheese to meat to veggies, rice and cereal. You want to stick with complex carbs. Meat, cheeses, and veggies are generally low carb. But if you are doing carbohydrates, stick with complex. A potato is a complext carb but very high. Some prefer sweet potato, for some reason they are a trigger food with me and I end up craving sweets, so I go for half a baked potato w cheese and bacon and I do better.

Brown rice is better than white. Wheat bread better than white, etc. Basically stay away from white food. lol.

to me good carbs are fiber bad carbs are starches.  there is a good site i use that shows the glycemic index of carbs so you can put in whatever you want and it will tell you all the vitamins in it, caloric ratios (fats/carbs/fiber), amino acid score, etc.

thanks to all *****sponded.

Fibrous veggies such as broccoli and cauliflower.  Berries have less sugar and more fiber than other fruits. If you're going to eat carbs, try to get as much nutrition bang for the buck as you can along with fiber.

Thanks trying to get some info on here.. My dr will not see me because I have an 90.00 balance husband has not had any income and I haven't had the extra money to pay my bill right now.  So I am in a long stall went down to 219 two days ago but back up to 221 now.. so frustrating.. thanks for the help.

Veggies mainly. Fruits sparingly and in small amounts.

We don't need processed grains and carbs, ever. Now I'm in the minority, I indulge in a little bad carbs on occasion, but the amount is small and I no longer can tolerate my trigger, sugar.

Steel cut oatmeal would be the only cereal I can imagine, but again its basically sugars. All the dry cereals are total crap food

It's w new way of eating. Even my kids now think that bread is a treat! We rarely if ever have it in the house.

thanks for the input.
