People make things more complicated than they are. Just eat more plants. Eat less super-easy-to-digest free-calorie foods, such as refined sugars (sucrose).

This includes simple starches such as you find in white bread, rice and pasta. They get converted into sucrose right away. It starts in your mouth (amylase enzyme in your saliva), just one simple molecular change and it's... glucose! That's why it tastes sweet if you keep on chewing a piece of white bread.

White flour products are tasty though! So consider them as more of a snack, like cake or potato chips, and less as part of your daily meal.
