Breads, cereals, rice, pasta, are all carbs. So are beans, corn, tortillas, potatoes. And of course, cakes, cookies, pies, candy, honey, sugar and fruits.
What Should I Do?
- Read labels - your favorite low fat yogurt probably contains 20-30 grams of carbohydrates.
- Look for carbs with more fiber - go for whole grains and limit processed carbs. Think whole wheat and whole grain bread instead of a baguette. Brown rice instead of white rice.
- Enjoy your favorite carbs - I'm not a big fan of giving them up completely unless that's easier for you. But if you love brownies, by all means have them, but limit yourself and savor each bite. I used to have a brownie every week, now, every few months, I'll indulge and really enjoy that brownie.
- Eat smaller portions of carbs. Skip the tortilla chips or have 1 handful with salsa. Skip the rice and beans in the burrito. Have pasta as an appetizer not a main course. Ask for an extra portion of veggies instead of rice or potatoe with an entree. Skip the bread in the restaurant unless it's spectacular and then have at it.
- If you're drinking sweetened beverages, learn to enjoy them with 1/2 the sugar or sweetner. It will take a few weeks, and then you'll get used to it.
- Check back next week for more information, until then, here's more information.
you really need to stay away from anything processed not just the Carbohydrates
