examples of whole grains?

[Mothercooter]

I have searched the house high and low and cant find my book now that I need again. I believe it ws borrowed and not returned.

I wont be in to see my dr for a few more weeks. They wont see me until Im 8 weeks along.

I thought I heard someone say I needed 100g carbs a day. That true while pregnant? If so, I know those need to come from veggies, fruit and whole grains. Okay so what are the best sources of whole grains on atkins?

Also, should I do skim milk or hood low carb milk?

Re: examples of whole grains?

Whole grains are grains that do not have their germ or seed coat stripped off during the processing procedure. The labeling laws in the US have guidelines for what can be called a "100%" whole grain product. So read those labels very carefully.

Grains include: Amaranth, Barley, Wheat, Rye, Oats, Quinoa, Teff, Tricale, Spelt, Corn, and Buckwheat.

If you are pregnant, I would suggest that you read "Atkins for Life" and ask your OB/Gyn for a referral to a dietician. Pregnant women, like children, have different nutritional needs than the rest of us.
