Are-You-A-Carb-Cutting-Machine

"Carbohydrates!" Despite all the hype about fat consumption, when it comes to losing weight, the real key to losing fat is to reduce the amount of carbohydrates. Experts say that we crave carbohydrates because they stimulate the production of serotonin (a brain chemical that regulates mood and sleep and calms and relaxes anxiety). Remember when we eat food. And when we digest, our body produces a hormone called insulin. Insulin enters our bloodstream, strikes our muscles and stimulates them. Then the muscles burn blood sugar and carbohydrates, which makes our fat fat again. For the first 1-2 hours it burns blood sugar for the next 1-2 hours. It burns our own stored body fat. Then what happens here is that the muscles close after hours.

Unfortunately, when we eat a diet high in carbohydrates, our muscle spends most of its time burning carbohydrates and never gets a chance to burn stored body fat properly. We no longer recommend that you cut out carbohydrates altogether. Solution. Eat most of your carbohydrates at breakfast or lunch. Dinner is the time of day when you want to make them a small part. Think of it this way. We only have hours after dinner to burn it before we go to bed. What we don't burn is stored as fat.

It is important to remember that we do not want to eliminate them, just limit them. Also, the carbohydrates we eat are important. Many of our foods today are high in carbohydrates. I agree with what many experts say that we should limit our good carbohydrates and eat more complex or simple carbohydrates. Here is a simple list of foods that fall into different categories.

Food sources

Complex carbohydrates are a good source of minerals, vitamins and fiber. They are found in intoxicants:

  •     Breads (whole grains or rye)
  •     Grain
  •     Starchy vegetables
  •     Lentils
  •     Rice
  •     Pasta


Simple carbohydrates also contain vitamins and minerals. They are found naturally in:

  •     fruit
  •     Milk and dairy products
  •     Vegetables


Also found in improved carbohydrate processing and refined sugars such as:

  •     Candy
  •     Honey
  •     Table sugar
  •     Syrup
  •     Regular carbonated beverages
  •     White bread


Better sugar provides calories, but it lacks vitamins, minerals and fiber.

Functions

The main function of carbohydrates is to provide energy to the body, especially to the brain and nervous system. The body breaks down starch and sugar into a substance called glucose, which is used by the body for energy.

Recommendations

It is recommended that 40 to 60% of our total calories come from carbohydrates, preferably complex complex carbohydrates (starch) and processed or refined sugars instead of naturally occurring sugars.
High sugar foods are simple carbohydrate foods that provide calories, but have minimal nutritional benefits. Within this category, healthy choices include fruit and low-fat or skim milk.
Enhancing complex carbohydrates:

  •     Eat more fruits and vegetables.
  •     Eat whole grains, rice, bread and cereals.
  •     Eat more beans, lentils and dried peas
