Looking at what the Somali diet is I never realized that we eat a lot o Carbohydrates and cook it too. What is Carbohydrate Carbohydrates are found in grains, dairy products, fruits, vegetables.

I wonder why my diets did not work because I’m eating of Carbohydrates but we need to have a balance of everything
