GOOD CARBS CAN ACTUALLY HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT

GOOD CARBS CAN ACTUALLY HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT Does it sound too good to be true It’s night but it’s TRUE!!

Here’s why:

First of all carbs are your body’s preferred source of energy so when you eat good carbs you feel good and productive while when you deprive yourself from them you could feel frustrated and tired.

Second good carbs or complex carbs are high in fiber which soaks up water in your digestive tract and slows down digestion which makes you feel full for longer. Fiber is key in weight management because when you eat high-fiber foods you tend to better control portions and cravings that could lead to poor dietary choices. Third, that same fiber in complex carbs helps your body’s insulin response, the slower you absorb the carbs, the smoother the insulin response which is beneficial for diabetics and weight control.

Last but not least complex carbs are one of the best sources of B vitamins, a family of vitamins that plays a vital role in your metabolism. Next time you think to omit carbs from your meal try to think instead of choosing the RIGHT carbs (EXAMPLES ABOVE) Now portion wise, the portions indicated above are just to show you what a serving is. The RIGHT PORTION differs from one person to another depending on your activity level and your weight management goals (whether you want to lose, gain or maintain your weight). Let’s say you would need AT LEAST one serving from these guys at every meal. Also pls note that the above list gathers some great options but is not exclusive. For example squash, peas, lentils, brown rice, barley, rye, millet, and buckwheat are other starches that are considered good or complex carbs.
