6. Pasta

Another one for the “I thought this was healthy” list, but sadly, pasta is another thing to avoid! The type of carbohydrates which pasta produces are refined carbohydrates, lacking the essential vitamins and fibers that other sources of carbohydrates offer. Fortunately, there are healthier alternatives to getting the good types of carbs, such as wholewheat pasta.
You can also get your essentials from starch filled vegetables or other produce such as brown rice or whole grained foods!
