Best carb choice while dieting.

[Cornellius]

What do you guys think is the best carb choice while dieting??

What about lactose?

Oatmeal

(100%, plain, not the packets with added sugar)....

besides, just throw some cinnamon and splenda sweetner in there with some apple piecesa nd it tastes awesome...

My carbs pretty much consist of a little fruit in the am, brown rice, whole wheat bread. That's usually about it other than some vegetables now and then.

Not sure I understand the lactose question.

I disagree about the fruits. High glicemix index food and cutting diet don´t mix.

Less than half a cup of unsweetened fruit in the morning will not break a diet, unless you're on a CKD.

I thought you were supposed to cut on complex carbs when dieting...

You are, but you still need some.... unless you're on a keto diet.

I usually have about a half to a cup of oatmeal in the mornings, and some egg whites.... then I have one slice of bread during the day, and that's all the carbs I have.... except for post-workout, at which time I have a piece of fruit and/or some juice.... but apparently that's not good for dieting, so I'm gunna try honey.

You should lower complex carbs somewhat, but should be more concerned about simple sugars...

It depends what your dietary philosophy is. If you are afraid of insulin and are watching your high GI carbs, then most fruit is pretty good (apples, peaches, etc--not bananas). However, if you think fructose is bad, then starchy carbs like rice and potatoes may be better, but their GI is higher. Oatmeal and pasta both have pretty low GIs, but oatmeal wins because it is not processed and has a good dose of fiber.

Yo.........

If u are following a TKD or similar diet, then one piece of fruit before a workout will sustain energy for training, will NOT promote fat storage with an insulin spike, and will not be converted to fat because the liver prefers this sugar in an empty state..............(which is the case on a TKD and this being fructose)
