For years I've concentrated on eating wholemeal and wholegrain products rather than the more refined white flour products, thinking that I was eating healthily. However now I am finding that while wholegrains have probably been healthier for me than refined grains, I may be best off avoiding grains as a whole (based on negative effects of gluten, lecithin, anti-nutrients and increased blood sugar levels. Am I right?). Grains have always been a large part of my diet and so now that I'm looking at replacing them altogether I am at a bit of a loss as to what I should eat instead. Potato's around workouts is one thing but the rest of the time they are too high GI-wise. Sweet potato could make up one meal but how about the others? Is rice (gluten free, but still relatively high GI) a good choice? What is everyone else who is avoiding grains getting their carbs from? By the way, is it just me or is there no option to sort forum search results by relevancy or best match? Whenever I search I just get the most recent threads that include the keyword I searched for. If this topic has been covered years ago, it would be pages and pages below in the search results. I find it much easier to find relevant results by doing a google search of the topic and adding 'gymnastic bodies' on the end.
