No/very low fats and NO sugars- simple carbs. ie breads, other starchy foods and the obvious plain 'ol sugar.

I'm lost - doesn't sugar have sugar in it?

I think I see the problem - you meant that first dash as a slash and that period as a comma.

You got it, or at least used an equal sign for the hyphen. I should have read it myself first.

Hate to say it, but starch doesn't qualify as a simple sugar. Simple sugars are sucrose, glucose, fructose, galactose, maltose, etc. I'd say it stops at dimers. Starch is definitely a long polymer. Easier to digest into simple sugars than, say, chitin, but...

I bet Ken's the kind of guy who lets a Saltine cracker sit in his mouth until his saliva breaks down all the starches into simple sugars, then says, "Mmmm, sweet!"

Easier to digest into simple sugars than, say, chitin, but... Don't hate to say when you're right. I should have been more specific and said simple carbs and starches, but I lump them together as they essentially end up doing the same thing within the body.

But, I adore simple carbs! I'm seriously not sure I see the sense in living if I have to give up potatoes, rice and bread.

See, Tom, that's how I feel about cheese! I'd rather go the rest of my life without rice if it means that I can eat cheese and still fit into my skinny jeans Life without cheese seems cold and cruel to me. Now, to fit cheese into the 200 calorie mini meal . . . not sure how to manage that Chacun a son goût I guess!
