The Truth About Carbohydrates
In the world of dieting, the word “carbs” has become almost criminal, and above all, confusing. Are they part of a balanced diet, or just the fat forming foods that keep you from reaching your weight loss goals? The truth is that carbohydrates do not make you fat. Nor does fat. Eating more of any kind of food than your body needs will make you fat. Carbohydrates are the primary and preferred source of energy for your working muscles and brain.
You do not have to cut out carbohydrates from your diet, you just have to know how to use them in the right way and choose the right types. Choose whole grains like whole-wheat breads and pastas, beans, fruits and vegetables to fill your fuel tank. If you go on low carb diet plan, you will not be feeling very energetic or alert. Carbohydrates are healthy; they provide fuel for your brain and body.
