🔼CONFUSED ABOUT CARBS?
Refined grains such as white bread, pizza crust, pretzels, hamburger buns, mega muffins and deep fried items are bad carbohydrates. During the refining process, these grains are stripped of B-vitamins, fiber and certain minerals.
Other examples of bad carbohydrates include chips, cookies, sodas, bagels, cake, pastries, pancakes, high fructose corn syrup and baked goods. These foods are low in nutrient density as they have little or no nutritional value and supply a large amount of calories.
🔼JUNK CARBS ARE:
❌High in calories for a small portion.
❌High in refined sugars - Studies show refined sugars like high fructose corn syrup make up more than 20% of the calories we eat each day. Refined sugars are linked to disease, obesity and type 2 diabetes. White sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and added sugars are examples.
❌High in refined grains - Wheat flour (maida) stripped of nutrient value made to look white in color.
❌Zero to minimal Fiber.
❌Sodium - High
❌Fats - High
❌Cholesterol - High
❌Trans fats - High
🔼GOOD CARBS ARE:
✔️The healthiest sources of carbohydrates - unprocessed or minimally processed, whole grains, vegetables, fruits and beans - promote good health by delivering vitamins, minerals, fiber, and a host of important phytonutrients.
✔️Don't paint ALL CARBS with the same misinformed brush. Real unprocessed carbs are the complete opposite to this lot.
✔️KEEP IT REAL
