Foods rich in starch are mainstays of the American diet. Most commonly known as carbohydrates, they are found primarily in bread, crackers, pastas, snack foods, baked goods, rice and potatoes. Most food is broken down by the body into sugar. The sugar - glucose - is the main source of energy for the body to perform all daily activities. Those with a sedentary lifestyle cannot burn all of the glucose. So the body naturally holds onto the excess energy, storing it in the form of fat.
