Weight Loss tip 2- Carbs here, Carbs there, Carbs Everywhere

In my last post I mentioned that WHEN you consume foods with carbohydrates it is better to stay away from foods with a high Glycemic Index AKA easily digestible carbs and simple sugars (candy, cookies, chocolate,etc.)

So what foods have a low Glycemic Index? I can't just not eat carbs dude!

Foods with a low Glycemic Index digest very slowly giving you more sustained energy, and they do not spike your insulin or blood sugar.

Examples:
Wheat Bread
Wheat Pasta
Brown Rice
Oats
Nuts
Green Leafy Vegetables
etc.

NOW do not make the mistake in thinking "Ok! instead of eating a big heaping plate of white pasta, I'll just eat a big heaping plate of wheat pasta and hot dam! I'll still lose weight!"

WRONG these foods should be eaten very sparingly if you want to lose weight. Every time you put these carbohydrate choices on your plate imagine that wherever you picked it up from is the last of that food on earth because although these are healthier food options because they keep your blood sugar steady, they are still very dense foods and can make you gain weight if you eat too much of them. (This is one thing the fitness magazines never told me, so being a newb I made this mistake. Don't do it. Eat carbs sparingly.)

Enjoy
