Understanding Good Carbohydrates Vs Bad Carbs And Choosing Healthy Meals For Weight Loss: A Few Points To Enhance Your Diet
There are much confusion about the topic of good carbohydrates and bad carbohydrates in recent years... this might help clear up a few of that confusion for you and set you on a clearer path to lifelong fat loss success and more healthy eating.
First of all, a lot of people aren't "low carb" believers (many certainly don't think very low carbohydrate diets are healthy), but do believe that one of the chief reasons that the vast majority of people struggle to ever reduce weight is that they are over-consuming processed refined carbohydrates for example pasta, bagels, breads, cereals, rice, muffins, sodas, juices, chocolates, 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 forms of breads and cereals claim to be "whole grain" through smart marketing although in reality, the first ingredient in them is refined flour, which one is just going to spike your blood sugar and cause an insulin surge. After years of eating too much 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 people, the opinion on this is that the majority of people struggling to reduce weight would get much better results by following these types of guidelines:
1. Decrease overall grain-based foods in your diet plan (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 nearly all of your carbohydrate intake, try getting most of your carbs from vegetables, sweet potatoes, and a variety of berries and whole fruits (NOT fruit juices, which remove the useful fiber and also other significant nutrients in the fruit)
3. If you are gonna get any grains at all, focus on the most nutrient dense and fibrous parts of the grain... the bran and the germ. This means that the healthiest ideas are using oat bran rather than 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 portions 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 extra healthy fats such as avocados, guacamole, nuts, seeds, nut butters along with 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 means 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 along with contains a high density of antioxidants, fiber, vitamins, and minerals... it is yams and/or sweet potatoes. Try slicing them into slim slivers and sauteing them with a few tablespoons of water in a pan for about five minutes for a faster 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!
