The carbohydrates we need to limit are simple, highly-processed carbohydrates such as white bread, white rice, sugar, pasta, bagels, cookies, etc. In moderation, most of us, assuming our total caloric intake is kept under control, can eat complex carbohydrates such as natural whole grains, beans, legumes, and nuts will not cause a significantly elevated triglyceride level. Taking in complex carbohydrates leads to less rapid absorption of glucose into our bloodstream after we eat. It’s the fiber that comes along with the complex carbs and berries that matters in this context.
