    Not a bad list (although I am not convinced that you could realistically eat enough pumpkin to get a good dose of starchy carbs... and I am not sure if squash or turnip would be ok either).

    I would also add:
    • Corn (low GI)
    • Taro
    • Sprouted grain breads/wraps
    • Basmati Rice
    • Pearl barley
    • Rye (kibbled or whole)
    • Whole or cracked wheat
    • Mung Bean Noodles (VERY low GI)
    • Buckwheat

    Mung bean noodles can be found at asian grocery stores (good supermarkets should also have them).

    Basmati rice has a lower GI than normal. If you can get it, brown basmati has a lower GI again, and also offers more fibre and a better nutritional profile.

    So corn is good?..........as long as you count it as a carb?
    What this means is that when we drop a ball and it falls to the ground, it wasn't the ball that moved (down to the ground), but the ground that moved (up to the ball)

    Corn is fine as a carb whilst bulking or if you are just looking to moderately reduce BF% in the realms of normal figures. However, I would be more careful when on a competition type cutting diet or if trying to get BF into the very low regions...

    Corn - Cut Corn is good for bulking and same goes with carrots and beet but not a cut.

    Spaghetti Squash, Acorn Squash, Eggplant are some of my favs.
