[QUOTE="moonchip, post: 831313, member: 162834"] The easiest way to identify a carb ( works for most but not all ) is " is it stodgy ?" Stodgy foods are foods which generally make you feel very full very quickly and include : [B]Bread [/B](white is worse, but brown & wholegrain isn't greatly better ... being toasted doesn't make any difference) [B]Pasta Rice Potatoes [/B](chips, baked, sauted, mashed - all as bad !) [B]Spaghetti Baked beans[/B] (also high in sugar, even the 'diet' versions) [B]Noodles[/B] Anything with [B]flour [/B]in it - so dumplings, cakes, waffles, pancakes, scones, yorkshire puddings, biscuits, etc... [B]Carrots [/B](baby or young carrots are also high in sugars) Most [B]breakfast cereals[/B] (also generally loaded with sugar as well as carbs) I'm sure others will be along shortly to add more to the list ;) [/QUOTE]
