Refined carbohydrates
I've been reading about 'refined carbohydrates' in both English and Portuguese, and I was wondering if you could help me find the ultimately best translation for this expression.
The sentence goes like this:
«For your overall approach to eating, avoid anything that is fried, consume fewer refined carbohydrates, and eat as little added sugar as possible.»
Thank you.
