Good Carbs Vs. Bad Carbs:

Those seeking answers on How to Lose Weight Fast will be very interested to know that some carbohydrates are actually okay. In past posts we have talked at length about the negative effects of sugars and high fructose corn syrup. In this discussion I would like to focus on carbohydrates, complex carbohydrates in specific.  As I am sure you have already read, there are two types of carbohydrates in our diets. The first are the sugars, otherwise known as simple carbohydrates. The other are complex carbohydrates known as starches. Those who are looking to Lose Weight Fast must understand that there is a huge difference between simple and complex carbohydrates. The simple carbohydrates (sugars) must be avoided if you want to lose weight. On the other hand, starch in small amounts is okay to have in your diet, given you eat them at the right time. Naturally, the next question becomes, what foods have starch in them? Foods like bread, wheat, pasta, cereal, grains, flour, etc. all contain high amounts of starch. Now, obviously you can’t eat pasta three times a day and expect to lose weight. However, you can eat a half of a bagel, and English muffin, a small bowl of grain cereal in the morning if you have them in small amounts. The only caviat this diet is you must include protein with your morning meal. The reasoning behind this diet is, eating starch in the morning has a tendency to kick-start your metabolism so that you end up burning more calories throughout the entire day. Because of this, your body will easily burn the starch you ate at breakfast, plus burn fat! Starches should be tapered off in the afternoon and avoided in the evening. This way your body isn’t full of carbohydrates in the evening when you are at rest, when it is easily stored as fat. This is by far the easiest and most effective way to Lose Weight Fast. As stated in earlier posts, drinking lots of water is the key to allowing your metabolism to run as fast as possible, and properly digest all of the food you are eating.

The good part is, following this diet is quite easy because you do not have to starve yourself of the foods you love! If your weakness is Italian food, you can still have pastas in reasonable amounts. If your weakness is Chinese food or Asian food (mine is), you can still enjoy a bowl of Pad Thai now and then. The key to this diet is not some crazy trend that is unreasonable to follow in the average person’s life. The key to this diet is eating the right foods at the right time and letting your metabolism do the hard work of burning those unwanted pounds. If you are in the market to Lose Weight Fast, you must follow these rules and pay attention to what types and how much carbohydrates you eat. In the next post we will talk in depth about how starches and proteins work together to boost your metabolism’s fat burning potential to its maximum.
