It seems as though the world is getting more confused than ever about the right way to lose weight these days. One of the problems is information overload on the internet and so called “gurus” all contradicting one another.
One of the biggest areas that I see my clients more confused than ever is the topic of carbohydrates and trying to figure out good carbs vs bad carbs or if they should try to follow some sort of low carb or no carb diet.
First of all, although I really don’t believe in “low carb” or “no carb” diets, I do believe that one of the main reasons so many people struggle with excess weight and body fat is that they overeat refined processed carbs such as cereal, pasta, rice, bagels, muffins, bread (even whole grain types), soda, juice, candy, crackers, etc.
It is very hard to lose any weight if you are overeating any of these types of carbs (even if you work out extremely hard). In addition to creating major blood sugar fluctuations and stimulating insulin surges (which promotes body fat deposition), eating too many carbohydrates also increases your appetite and cravings for more processed sugars and starches.
Even carb food sources that most people think are healthy are really just excess calories that do not really give you much in the way of nutrient density… and many types of bread and cereals pretend to be “whole grain” through their deceptive labeling, while in reality the 1st ingredient in them is processed refined flour, which is just going to spike your blood sugar and create a hormonal mess in your body.
My take on it is that the majority of people frustrated and struggling to lose weight would do much better following these types of recommendations:
1. Reduce grain-based carbohydrate foods in your diet (cereals, pastas, breads, rice, crackers, and so on)
