A member asked:

Is it ok for me to completely avoid all bread and potatoes and only eat chicken, turkey, salmon, veggies, and beans?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

eat like normal peop: You need to eat a balanced diet. This means proper amount of starches(carbohydrates), protein and some fats. There is no reason to avoid eating small amounts of bread or potatoes as they are the key carbs in tour diet.
