Janelle, Parents list will have lots of knowledge - are you there, or do you need help to find it?

: Is there a formula to figure out
: approximately how many complex
: carbs you need based on age,
: activity level, and body type?
: Right now we are getting many of
: our complex carbs from veggies and
: limited fruits.

this question had me going round in circles when I started here! actually I was quite alarmed about complex carb/brown, having done a lot of paleo/LC.

step 5 list is the most amazing resource for all things brown. I thought I knew Everything and have learnt a thing or two fro m my friends there!

as to formula, its individual. I found that so hard. wanted to know the numbers. But my journal is so so accurate in feedback as to what I need, how much and what suits me. I hope you find the same! which step are you doing right now?
