Grain, nuts, and pulses provide us with carbohydrates which give us energy, but an excess is stored in the body as fatty tissue. It is important, therefore, to limit your intake to what you need and to select those carbohydrate foods which also provide vitamins, minerals, proteins and vegetable fats, so that they can be a valuable addition to the diet.

Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

Examples of good carbs include brown rice, oatmeal, whole-grain pasta, whole-grain cereals , fruits and vegetables. Whole foods are best and they are far less likely to cause bloating, weight gain and digestive distress. They will also keep a person fuller, longer.
Best,
Susan
