there are whole grains, or grasses you can eat which will help, and that your body vitally needs.

grasses include wild rice, which is a very good food to eat. don't let the carbs scare you, whole grains and grasses are a pretty complete food. don't forget your beans and legumes.

no sugar, hard thing, I'm totally addicted. no flour, I could do, but no grains, I'd die of starvation. steel-cut oatmeal is my friend. :-D
