Carbs are your friends

Some people think to lose weight they need to cut all carbs out of their diet. This is a very popular myth, in fact carbs are your friends. Let me explain. Their are two different types of carbs: Complex carbs and Simple carbs.

Complex carbs come from starches and fiber. Foods that are high in complex carbs are fruits and veggies and whole grains, these foods are a good source of vitamins, minerals and fiber. Simple carbs come from sugars like cake and alcohol and must be consumed in moderation.

Tip* - To lose weight mix a proper diet of complex carbs, protein and fat.

• Eat a mix of fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products, fruits, veggies, and whole grains.
• Limit added sugars, cholesterol, salt (sodium), and saturated fat.
• Eat low-fat protein: beans, eggs, fish, lean meats, nuts, and poultry.
