Does anyone have a list of good carbs?
Here's a link to a website that has great information on good carbs vs. bad carbs. I've linked you to the page on good carbs, but you may want to poke around the site for additional information.

Also, as a quick reference, here's the list of what constitutes a good carb:
whole vegetables
whole fruits
beans
legumes
nuts
seeds
whole cereal grains
As for me, I'd add whole-grain breads and whole-grain pasta to the list, along with brown rice. Make sure you're getting whole-grain products, not just "whole wheat," especially when looking for bread products. Whole wheat flour is highly processed and is also considered a "bad carb."
Good luck on your continuing journey -

Whole wheat flour is better than enriched white flour, but not as good as whole grain flour. Here's a link to the section at Whole Foods website about whole grain flours.

Whole wheat is OK if it isn't "enriched" whole wheat. You have to read the labels on breads, pastas, etc. Ingredients that start with "enriched white or wheat" aren't your best choice, even if the package looks healthy! You have to be sure you're getting whole wheat or whole grain. Just avoid that "enriched" word = processed!
