Hello, Carbs!
Who hasn't been tempted by no-carb diets? They seem to work, and they yield results quickly. But what about those of us who can't part with fresh-baked bread or steaming rice? I don't know about you, but I'm not willing to give up all that good, nutritious food that quickly! Plus, breads and cereals can add important fiber to your diet and give you energy to keep going! We all need those benefits!
I've learned that you can eat carbs and still lose weight. You just need to make good choices and watch your portion sizes. Here are some seriously healthy carbs for you to experiment with:
Whole-grain bread
Whole-grain or legume-based pasta
Whole-grain cereal
Barley
Quinoa
Brown and wild rice
Oatmeal
Popcorn
Sprouted grains

No carb diets are ridiculously difficult, and put a huge strain on kidneys (they aren't designed to process that much protein per day over a sustained period). The weight that comes off, goes back on just as fast at the end of the diet. But, if you decrease carb (and make better choices as you mentioned), and increase protein intake, just a little, it is a little easier to continue to lose weight. :-)
