I've noticed I eat a lot of carbs (bread, Rice, Potatoes, etc.) but I eat a lot of sugar and salt too. I am finding when I am bored and just sitting at the computer, (because I am having problems with knees and swelling) I fall asleep. But if I have food at the computer I will eat and play at computer so I don't fall asleep at the computer. I have gained 40 + lbs. I have no teeth and my dentures I don't wear, I don't know why. So a lot of carbs ar soft; What I eat a lot is soft.
