Understanding Good Carbohydrates Vs Bad Carbs And Choosing Well Balanced Meals For Weight Loss: Some Instructions To Improve Your Diet Program
There has been much confusion about the issue of good carbohydrates and bad carbohydrates in recent years... this might help clear up some of that confusion for you and set you on a clearer path to lifelong fat loss success and healthier eating.
First of all, many people aren't "low carb" believers (many definitely don't think very low carbohydrate diets are healthy), but do believe that one of the major reasons that the vast majority of people struggle to ever lose weight is that they are over-consuming processed refined carbohydrates such as pasta, bagels, breads, cereals, rice, muffins, sodas, juices, chocolates, crackers etc.
Even carbohydrate sources that majority of the people think are "healthy" really are just excess calories that don't really contain significant nutrient density... and many types of breads and cereals claim to be "whole grain" through clever marketing although in reality, the first ingredient in them is refined flour, which is just going to spike your blood sugar and create an insulin surge. After years of eating too much processed carbohydrates, it becomes more difficult and harder for insulin to do it's job and continue handling all of this blood sugar, and insulin resistance and eventual type 2 diabetes can take place in many people.
For many, the opinion on this is that the majority of people struggling to lose weight would get much better results by following these types of guidelines:
1. Reduce overall grain-based foods in your diet plan (pasta, cereal, crackers, rice, etc) and concentrate more of your diet on healthy free range, grass-fed meats and eggs, raw grass-fed dairy, and a whole a lots of vegetables.
2. Instead of grains for most of your carbohydrate intake, try getting most of your carbs from veggies, sweet potatoes, and a variety of berries and whole fruits (NOT fruit juices, which remove the beneficial fiber and also other crucial nutrients in the fruit)
3. If you are gonna get any grains at all, focus on the most nutrient dense and fibrous portions of the grain... the bran and the germ. This means that the healthiest ideas are using oat bran instead of oat meal, and using wheat germ and rice bran by adding them to your salads, yogurt, cottage cheese, soups, smoothies, etc. This way you get all of the most nutrient dense portions of the grains without all of the extra starches and calories.
4. To replace the void if you are accustomed to eating large quantities of cereals, bread, pasta, and other carbohydrate sources... try filling that void with additional healthy fats such as avocados, guacamole, nuts, seeds, nut butters in addition to healthy proteins such as grass-fed raw dairy and grass fed meats, whole free-range organic eggs, etc. Healthy fats and protein sources go a long means to satisfying your appetite, controlling proper blood sugar and hormone levels, and assisting you to make real progress on weight loss for life.
With all of that said, here is one a favorite carbohydrate source that is high in fiber also contains a high density of antioxidants, fiber, vitamins, and minerals... it is yams and/or sweet potatoes. Try slicing them into thin slivers and sauteing them with a few tablespoons of water in a pan for about 5 minutes for a faster healthy carb (rather than baking them for over an hour). Finish them off with a touch of grass-fed organic butter and a few cinnamon and you've got a delicious and healthy carbohydrate side dish!
