Hi,

The best alternative for me for daily starches is to just avoid them period or limit to one a day. There are carbs in almost all foods but the unhealthy white refined starch is the worse. So I consciously limit my daily intake of potatoes or bread. I use lettuce wraps and mainly have protein and a veggie for main meals. I don’t miss it. I’ll order a burger outside, discard the top bun and knife and fork it or just ask for it bunless. It’s a conscious effort and the best defense is not to have it in the house. I avoid wheat as much as possible. This morning my gluten free chia waffle with blueberries is my conscious carb for the day. I’m not buying as much gluten free bread as I use to because a lot contain sugar. I am no longer a sandwich eater.
Some carbs are essential for a healthy lifestyle. Be mindful of what you eat and learn about your body and the fuel it needs and it becomes second nature. But don’t deprive yourself...that’s no way to live....I’ll never pass up a pizza lol.

Ooohhh lettuce wraps, I'm salivating uncontrollably.
Chia waffles? I thought that was some animal-shaped thIng you watered and it grew out some sort of flora.
I think I'll stick to my kind of health food.

@imallears Yes you are right I don't deprive myself of anything but eat in portions some only once in awhile like sweets ,bread once a day no sugar Ive done without for years except whats already in food and that's enough . I do eat protein my condition requires it so little chicken ,fish and once a week maybe red meat . Try to stay away from chocolate but dark chocolate is good for you in getting your antioxidents that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. No processed food at all ever since we found out our son was allergic to dyes and artificial flavorings so that isn't a big deal. GO ORGANIC
