I'll start: I'm going to give up rice. I eat a lot of rice by default. I've wanted to try cutting out "bad carbs" for awhile, but this has been the main sticking point, so it's got to go.

In an effort to cut out "bad carbs" I've been eating a lot more rice as a substitute for other carbs. What are your good carbs?

For what it's worth, quinoa seems pretty benign in terms of how it leaves me feeling.

Based on my reading: potatoes (neutral), sweet potatoes, bananas.

I've also read positive things about sweet potatoes. But don't bananas have a lot of sugar in them?

I suppose, but less of it is fructose than in other fruits. I don't intend to eat large quantities of bananas either way.
