The only carbs I intentionally stay away from is past and bread...I do eat tortillias though...and lots of veggies...so i cant really help you there
but protein is in tuna,egg whites (liquids are awesome) cheese if you can handle dairy, nuts, beans, chicken...
hope this helps a little0 -
Interesting. Here I thought we were suppose to stay away from cheese and that pasta was good for you. I have a lot to learn. Thanks for the tips!0

Go for Whole Grain pasta if you're going to do pasta. It's much better for you and has some good fiber.0

Whole grain anything is technically good carbs. I prefer "low carb tortillas" those are usually multigrain. Most people consider fruits good carbs....i'm not really a good carb/bad carb guy, more into low carb.0

This should help you with your shopping list.

Just remember everything in moderation. I know that pasta is not a good carb, but I love it so I allow myself to eat it once a week and limit my portion.0 -
Hi, There is a book ("Belly Fat Diet") on these. they call them MUFA's (moo-fa-s). Monounsaturated fats. some foods that have them are: olive oil, avocados, dark chocolate, nuts (like walnuts & pistachios), olives, salmon. Hope this helps.1
