    try whole grain pasta and use sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes. Stay away from cheese and creamy sauces and try not to cook your veggies in them as well. Think whole grains. Rice, fruits, veggies, oats and kidney beans are real good sources.

    All pasta, even whole grain has lots of carbs. So do sweet potatoes, rice, most fruits, Cheese is usually lower in carbs. Most of your low carb foods are a bit higher in fat. Green veggies are a good place to get carbs. You could cook a meat and green veggies or carrots. My husband things he should have potatoes and bread for almost every meal! And he has quite a bit of belly fat. I've spent the past 10 months trying to take in all the low carb foods and avoid the high carb stuff. I recently started making things with flaxseed meal which is low in net carbs! I buy Healthy Life wheat bread which has 5 net carbs and is high in fiber. Most people don't go as low carb as I do but lowering yourcarbs is nota bad thing. Especially if you limit your sugar and white flour.
