Understanding Good Carbohydrates Vs Bad Carbs And Picking Healthy Food For Weight Loss: Several Suggestions To Enhance Your Diet

There are so much confusion about the topic of good carbohydrates and bad carbohydrates in past few years... this might help clear up a few of that confusion for you and set you on a clearer path to lifetime fat loss success and healthier eating.

Firstly, a lot of people are not "low carb" believers (many certainly do not think extremely low carbohydrate diets are healthy), but do believe that one of the key reasons that the vast most 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" actually are just excess calories that do not really contain significant nutrient density... and many kinds of breads and cereals claim to be "whole grain" through smart marketing although in truth, 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 managing all of this blood sugar, and insulin resistance and eventual type 2 diabetes can occur in many people.

For most people, the opinion on this is that the most 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 healthful free range, grass-fed meats and eggs, raw grass-fed dairy, and a whole lot of vegetables.

2. Instead of grains for nearly all of your carbohydrate intake, try getting the majority of your carbs from veggies, sweet potatoes, and a variety of berries and whole fruits (NOT fruit juices, which eliminate the helpful fiber as well as other important nutrients in the fruit)

3. If you're going to get any grains at all, focus on the most nutrient dense and fibrous parts of the grain... the bran and the germ. Which means 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're accustomed to consuming large quantities of cereals, bread, pasta, and other carbohydrate sources... try filling that void with extra healthy fats like avocados, guacamole, nuts, seeds, nut butters as well as 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 way to satisfying your appetite, controlling proper blood sugar and hormone levels, and helping you to make actual progress on weight loss for life.

With all of that said, here's one a favorite carbohydrate source that is high in fiber and also contains a high density of antioxidants, fiber, vitamins, and minerals... it's 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 and natural butter and some cinnamon and you've got a delicious and healthy carbohydrate side dish!
