Good Carbs versus Bad
Carbs...
The word "carbs" is
everywhere these days, and there are many diets which
are either "for" carbs or "against" carbs.
The
public is getting confused about all this confusion over
carbs, and nobody seems to really understand what to do
when dieting these days.
So we'll explain the
simple truth about carbs and what it takes to begin
losing weight immediately.
A "carb" is just a
short hand way of saying "a carbohydrate".
A carbohydrate is a special type of calorie
which contains extra energy, which is why you'll feel
more energetic when eating foods which are rich in
carbohydrates. For example, if you eat a bag of
candy or a piece of cake then you'll feel very energetic
afterwards, because these are foods which are rich in
excess carbs.
The truth is that not all carbs are
fattening, because there are different types of carbs --
there are "good carbs" and there are "bad carbs"
too.
However, if you are overweight (or if you're
one of those people who has been overweight since
childhood) then it's 99% certain that your daily foods
contain too many bad carbs -- and not enough good
carbs.
Sugar is a type of bad carb, and most
people think they know how to avoid sugar. But the
truth is that sugar has MANY different forms which are
very hard to spot in foods. ...And this is why
you'll never lose weight until you learn to eat good
carbs only.
For example, most people falsely
believe that eating foods sweetened with honey are
somehow healthier than eating foods sweetened with sugar
--- but in reality honey is just as fattening as
sugar. In fact, honey is filled with the same
fattening carbs as sugar.
Why is this
true?
This is true because honey (and other bad
carbs) cause your blood sugar level to rise sharply
after a meal (which is why you'll feel energetic after
eating a honey based meal).
This
causes you to gain weight because when your blood sugar
rises then your body is forced to over-produce a hormone
called "insulin" (because insulin is needed to help
process excess blood sugar). ...And when
your body produces too much insulin then fat storage
will occur.
But if you eat good carbs (instead of
bad carbs) then your blood sugar level will not
skyrocket after each meal, and thus you can burn fat and
lose weight much easier. Plus, you'll feel
energetic all day on a more even level, without the
"highs" and "lows" that most overweight people
experience.
So to begin losing weight you need to
change the types of foods that you eat each day, and you
