Complex Carbs

What is quinoa and how do you fix it?

I too am a pear shape...and find that if I limit my carbs to complex ones I do better at loosing weight. I was given this as a guide to complex carbs...trying to figure out what to eat and what not to eat can be VERY confusion. And you find so many different varying answers. I've come to find out that there is not One Size Fits All to this journey. I hope it helps ya:

Spinach Whole Barley Grapefruit
Turnip Greens Buckwheat Apples
Lettuce Buckwheat bread Prunes
Water Cress Oat bran bread Apricots, Dried
Zucchini Oatmeal Pears
Asparagus Oat bran cereal Plums
Artichokes Museli Strawberries
Okra Wild rice Oranges
Cabbage Brown rice Yams
Celery Multi-grain bread Carrots
Cucumbers Pinto beans Potatoes
Dill Pickles Yogurt, low fat Soybeans
Radishes Skim milk Lentils
Broccoli Navy beans Garbanzo beans
Brussels Sprouts Cauliflower Kidney beans
Eggplant Soy milk Lentils
Onions Whole meal spelt bread Split peas

Great suggestions so far!! There are so many options- also, when reading labels and looking at carbs- look at how it is broken down. Avoid foods whose carbohydrate make-up is primarily sugar- you want your carbs coming from fiber and plant based materials not simple sugars. Some natural sugars are fine- but limit fruits like bananas, apples, etc.
