Have to ask- the amount of information is overwhelming.
- I am trying to see what foods I can eat. I figured whatever I am allowed to eat, I could spice it up and behold I see this in the list of foods to avoid.
-
Spices to avoid:

Spices do have carbs – but there are certain ones that have more than others.
•Onion powder
•Cinnamon
•Garlic powder
•Allspice
Bay leaves
•Ginger
•Cardamom


Other than onions which of these would be high carb ?!
