Most carbohydrates should come from complex carbs such as brown rice, quinoa, and high fiber grains. Anything that digests slowly is better than the quick-absorption garbage out there now.

Did you know that there are 2 teaspoons of sugar in every slice of your avg. loaf of white bread? Imagine eating 2 tsps of sugar instead of that bread. Same thing. I’ve cut out bread almost exclusively.

Yep that is what I eat also lot's of sweet potatoes . I do eat some quick, fast burning carbs every so often for a super grueling workout session or a triathalon etc for energy.

Yes, sugar is nasty.. I only eat junk food maybe 5-6 times per year if that. Eat super clean. Have not had white bread in years. My only vice is a diet Coke Zero every so often and trying to wean myself off of that.
