BEST CARBOHYDRATES
> Fruits and vegetables: Especially beneficial are sweet potatoes, spinach, red peppers, butternut squash, romaine lettuce, asparagus, baked potato with skin, green peppers, peas, corn.
> Grains, pastas and cereals: Look for breads and pastas made with whole wheat, and try out overlooked grains such as bulgur wheat, quinoa, oatmeal and whole-grain corn. Buy breakfast cereals that contain whole grains that are cracked, split or puffed; it's even better if they contain nuts or dried fruits.
