Carbohydrates – The Truth Part III

On top of all this you aren’t giving your body all of the nutrients you need.  Foods that contain refined sugar, processed flour, chemicals, preservatives, and additives have almost no nutrient value.  Even though you may be eating large quantities, if you are eating mostly “bad carbs” your body still craves more food to try to get the nutrients it requires to function properly.

I recommend choosing organic low-glycemic carbs like raw, green leafy vegetables, sweet potatoes, whole fruits, nuts and seeds, along with whole grains that are never refined like barley, brown rice, buckwheat, oatmeal wild rice.  As far as your fats go choose healthy saturated fats such as virgin coconut oil, and get your fiber with flax meal.   Also try to drink water instead of carbonated soda and sugary drinks which will also make your body work harder than it should.

Try to stay away from white breads, and processed snacks, foods that have refined sugar and white flour.  Instant foods like instant rices, and oatmeal are also not a great idea while caffeine when drunk stops healthy blood sugar control

So please don’t cut carbohydrates out of your diet completely.  Just be smart about what typ of carbs you eat.  Get a good balance of good carbs, proteins,and fats.
