What are some examples about refined wheat foods? If cereal for example says it is "whole grain" then does that mean it isn't refined? Sorry about my ignorance. I agree with you that white bread and refined sugars should be avoided. However, I think baked potatoes are good for you and pasta, well, how can you live without it? Protein is definitely a good thing though--I'll give you that!

My point was that you do not need refined wheat products like pasta and bread to sustain you and they don't provide fiber either. Depending on the diet you choose, you can simply cut out sugar and refined wheat products (and probably potatoes and white rice). But we are all different. What works for me may not work for you.
