[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 1998217, member: 6467"] You could start from the position that you don't need to eat any carbs because they are not essential. Then consider vegetables grown above ground (but not grains). Sweetcorn and cornflour are not that good either. Eggs, cheese, butter, are all good staples. My personal view is that diet advice which includes "healthy carbs and wholemeal grains" is out of date and misguided. The main message is Don't Panic!!! It will take weeks if not months to get a full grasp of what is good to eat and what is not so good. Don't worry if you find out that you have made a mistake or two. Everybody does and it isn't the end of the world. You will learn, and then you will settle into a sensible way of eating which suits your palate and your lifestyle. I sometimes twitch a bit at some of the things I did with massive enthusiasm on first diagnosis, such as eating big bowls of muesli with lots of fruit because it was "healthy". Likewise drinking lots of orange juice for the same reason. Then it was explained to me that these things were loaded with sugars and weren't really that healthy for me. Oops! Take it in easy, small steps and post what you are eating and thinking of eating on here. You will get loads of advice, some of it even good. :-) [/QUOTE]
