The thought of giving up pasta and bread for weight loss is just depressing. It almost makes us want to quit our weight loss plan. Well, if you feel the same way as we do, here's some some good news: If you consume the 'right' carbs, it can actually help you in your weight loss journey.
Carbohydrates are key to regulating blood sugar and providing energy throughout our bodies and without them, our bodies will rely on protein, breaking it down for energy instead of using it in its preferred role of growing and maintaining tissues. "The people who live the longest, healthiest lives who have the lowest rates of diabetes, heart disease and cancer their diets are all rich in healthy carbs, including beans, legumes, whole grains and fruit," Tamara Duker Freuman, a dietitian, told a leading news portal. The problem, apparently, isn't that we consume carbs but that we consume the wrong ones.
"The people who live the longest, healthiest lives who have the lowest rates of diabetes, heart disease and cancer their diets are all rich in healthy carbs, including beans, legumes, whole grains and fruit," Tamara Duker Freuman, a dietician, told a leading news portal. Cutting back on highly processed fast-acting carbs and eating more high-quality ones that are high in fibre and low in added sugars, such as beans, whole grains, fruit, and vegetables will help you in your weight loss journey.
Well, what are you waiting for? Go change that diet plan and include into it all the 'right' carbs that you've been missing!
