starch would you put on your plate if ANY,,
Complex carbs and simple carbs
Simple carbs...I try to limit to once a week,
such as white potatoes and pasta, white breads and bakery items. Although I never eat white breads and very seldom bakery items.
Avoid most baked goods or anything made with flour. Best choices are specially-made low carb breads which have less starch and more fiber.
Avoid processed cereals with little fiber. Best choices are cold cereals, such as All-Bran with Extra Fiber, are which are mostly fiber.
Complex carbs...The best are whole beans or lentils. The starch is mostly either slowly-digested starch or resistant starch (though canned beans are more fully digested than ones cooked from the dried state).
When choosing grains, eat ones which are whole and intact when cooked, such as brown rice, barley, amaranth, or quinoa.
