Discover The Facts About Carbs And Fat Reduction

Lack of education among the population is one of the leading reasons for many weight loss failures

. As a matter of fact, lack of education gives birth to several misunderstandings and superstitions! One such misunderstanding is about carbs. People think that carbs are all bad and that if one can reduce carbohydrate intake, or even better, totally avoid carbohydrates, then weight reduction will be a snap! However, that is completely incorrect!

There are actually two types of carbohydrates: the good and the bad. You should of course avoid the 'bad' carbohydrates but the 'good' ones provide your body much needed nutrition and energy. In this article I will tell you what kinds of carbohydrates you should consume and which ones you should avoid to ensure quick weight loss!

1. The Bad Carbohydrates: In case you don't know, processed foods contain a lot of carbs. However they are bad carbs. These foods contain some nutrition in their natural state but as soon as they are processed through several food processing stages, much of their nutrition and value is lost! What is left are hollow calories which only make you fat and nothing else.

Examples of such foods are chips, white bread, pasta, soft drinks, cakes, biscuits, candies, etc. These foods should be avoided at all costs, if you are serious about fat reduction!

These processed foods contain lots of sugar and as you know, sugar is loaded with calories. The more sugar you eat, the fatter you become! These foods offer very little nourishment to your body and since they have very little fiber, they are easily transformed by your body into layers of fat.

In addition to weight gain, eating processed foods regularly can also cause diabetes, since your blood sugar levels rise so high that it becomes extremely hard for insulin to control it!

2. The Good Carbohydrates: So what are good carbohydrates? Good carbohydrates are usually found in natural foods, such as raw fruits, vegetables, legumes, seeds, wholemeal pasta, wholegrain wheat, etc. These foods contain carbs but not the ones that will quickly make you fat! Unlike the fast acting carbs contained in processed foods, these are slow carbohydrates which take a long time to digest; therefore, you don't get fat! Plus they also contain high amounts of fiber. Fiber will keep you full for quite a while providing a natural way to subdue your hunger!
