Can someone please give me a list of starchy foods?
My husband is currently on a VERY strict weight loss diet and it is ending this Friday. There is a 3 week stabilization period where he cannot have any starches. I want to be sure to follow the diet and help him, but cannot find a specific list, just mostly the affects of carbs etc.
Let me clarify, this is a diet that was prescribed by his Dr. so I'm not looking for advice or alternatives, I just need to make sure that I am feeding him the correct foods and not letting in any starchy foods. Thanks!

anything made from wheat is starchy, as is corn.

All too often, the Western diet is based on wheat, or wheat/ rice/ maize.
As the following list shows, a wide variety of starchy foods are available in the supermarkets.
A healthy diet should be based on a broad range of these starchy foods.
These lists also show the wide range of protein foods now available. A broad range of foods in the diet should always be the aim of the menu planner.
