Understanding Good Carbohydrates Vs Bad Carbs And Choosing Healthy Meals For Weight Loss: Several Points To Develop Your Diet Program
There are so much confusion about the topic of good carbohydrates and bad carbohydrates in recent years... this could help clear up some of that confusion for you and set you on a clearer path to lifelong fat loss success and healthier eating.
Firstly, a lot of people are not "low carb" believers (many obviously don't think very low carbohydrate diets are healthy), but do believe that one of the main reasons that the vast majority of people struggle to ever lose weight is that they're over-consuming processed refined carbohydrates for example pasta, bagels, breads, cereals, rice, muffins, sodas, juices, candies, crackers etc.
Even carbohydrate sources that most 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 gonna spike your blood sugar and cause an insulin surge. After years of eating excess processed carbohydrates, it becomes harder 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 sorts of guidelines:
1. Decrease overall grain-based foods in your diet (pasta, cereal, crackers, rice, etc) and focus 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 eliminate the helpful fiber in addition to other significant 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 up them to your salads, yogurt, cottage cheese, soups, smoothies, etc. This method you get all of the most nutrient dense parts of the grains without all of the excess 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 like 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 helping 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 one or two tablespoons of water in a pan for about five minutes for a quicker healthy carb (instead of 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!
