If you do the arithmatic the substitute for the calories in concentrated
starch foods comes from the extra fat. But that's a technicality.

Depending on your carb quota your carb sources can range from the
rounded-down half gram in a cup of coffee through oatmeal and rutabagas.
Check out jicama and all of the other root veggies. Plus for bulk have
