Understanding Good Carbohydrates Vs Bad Carbs And Choosing Healthy Meals For Weight Loss: Some Tips To Improve Your Diet
There are so much confusion about the issue of good carbohydrates and bad carbohydrates in past few years... this may aid 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, a lot of people are not "low carb" believers (many surely do not think extremely low carbohydrate diets are healthy), but do believe that among the major reasons that the vast majority of people struggle to ever lose weight is that they are over-consuming processed refined carbohydrates for example pasta, bagels, breads, cereals, rice, muffins, sodas, juices, candies, crackers etc.
Even carbohydrate sources that majority of the people think are "healthy" actually are just excess calories that do not really contain significant nutrient density... and many varieties 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 cause an insulin surge. After years of eating excess processed carbohydrates, it becomes more difficult and harder for insulin to do it's job and continue managing all of this blood sugar, and insulin resistance and eventual type 2 diabetes can occur in lots of 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. Decrease overall grain-based foods in your diet (pasta, cereal, crackers, rice, etc) and concentrate more of your diet on healthful free range, grass-fed meats and eggs, raw grass-fed dairy, and a whole lot of vegetables.
2. Rather than 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 useful fiber in addition to other critical nutrients in the fruit)
3. If you're going to get any grains at all, concentrate 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 technique you get all of the most nutrient dense parts of the grains without all of the extra starches and calories.
4. To replace the void if you're accustomed to consuming large quantities of cereals, bread, pasta, and many other carbohydrate sources... try filling that void with additional healthy fats such as avocados, guacamole, nuts, seeds, nut butters as well as healthy proteins such as grass-fed raw dairy and grass fed meats, whole free-range organic eggs, etc. Healthful fats and protein sources go a long method to satisfying your appetite, controlling proper blood sugar and hormone levels, and assisting you to make actual progress on weight loss for life.
With all of that said, here's one a favorite carbohydrate source that's 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 five minutes for a quicker healthy carb (rather than baking them for over an hour). Finish them off with a touch of grass-fed organic and natural butter and some cinnamon and you have got a delicious and healthy carbohydrate side dish!
