Get Carbs Back In Your Diet
It seems the low carb fad has hit the skids and people are finally determining that the right kind of carbohydrates are actually good for your health and weight.
It’s easy to be misled into restrictive dieting and quite possibly skipping entire food groups.
Cutting out entire food groups is definitely asking for trouble. It is common knowledge your body needs a wide range of nutrients - carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, proteins, which only a balanced diet can provide. Eliminating a particular food group puts you at risk of depriving your metabolism of key nutrients.
Low carb diets rose in popularity because they triggered your body into weight loss. One of the main complaints of low carb diets is they are deficient in many vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber, as they restrict the intake of fruits, vegetables and grains.
Take for example the low carb forbidden banana, compared to an apple.
- Has 3 times the three times the phosphorus
- five times the vitamin A and iron
- twice the other vitamins and minerals
- rich in potassium
- three natural sugars—sucrose, fructose and glucose
- fiber
- low in salt
- perfect remedy for tackling high blood pressure
The US Food and Drug Administration has allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit’s ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.
Should you take it out of your diet? Nope!

Enjoy grains frequendy, as long as you eat the right ones. The more intact the grain, the higher the fiber and nutrition. Whole grains, including wheat, rye, barley, corn, and some types of rice, are rich in bran, B vitamins, iron, and other minerals. Stay away from white rice, which is milled, removing the bran and germ. Brown rice is a much better source of B vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Wild rice is ttequendy served in combination with white or brown rice and is very nutritious and low on the glycemic index. Couscous is another good low glycemic index choice to substitute for white rice or white potatoes.
