Understanding Good Carbohydrates Vs Bad Carbs And Selecting Healthy Meals For Weight Loss: Some Tips To Improve Your Diet Plan
There has been so much confusion about the topic of good carbohydrates and bad carbohydrates in recent years... this might aid clear up some of that confusion for you and set you on a clearer path to lifetime fat loss success and more healthy eating.
First of all, many people are not "low carb" believers (many obviously don't think extremely low carbohydrate diets are healthy), but do believe that among the major reasons that the vast most people struggle to ever reduce weight is that they are over-consuming processed refined carbohydrates such as 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 do not really contain significant nutrient density... and many varieties of breads and cereals claim to be "whole grain" through clever marketing although in truth, the first ingredient in them is refined flour, which one is just going to spike your blood sugar and create 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 occur in lots of people.
For many, the opinion on this is that the most of people struggling to reduce weight would get much better results by following these types of guidelines:
1. Reduce 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 lot of vegetables.
2. Rather than grains for most of your carbohydrate intake, try getting the majority of your carbs from vegetables, sweet potatoes, and a variety of berries and whole fruits (NOT fruit juices, which remove the beneficial fiber as well as other significant nutrients in the fruit)
3. If you are going to get any grains at all, concentrate on the most nutrient dense and fibrous portions of the grain... the bran and the germ. Which means 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 way 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 consuming large quantities of cereals, bread, pasta, and many other carbohydrate sources... try filling that void with additional healthy fats like 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. Healthy fats and protein sources go a long way 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's one a favorite carbohydrate source that's high in fiber also contains a high density of antioxidants, fiber, vitamins, and minerals... it's 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 5 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 some cinnamon and you have got a delicious and healthy carbohydrate side dish!
