Not All Carbs are bad.
Good Carbs and Healthy Carbs For Your Diet.

Good Carbs, Whole Grains

Some fad diets would have you believe that there are no good carbs. Pay little attention to generalizations about carbohydrates being bad for you. Carbohydrates provide you with life sustaining energy, are part of a healthy diet, and play a role in physical exercise. Do pay attention to the different kinds of carbs because some are better for you than others.


Healthy carbs come from beans, fruits, whole grains, and vegetables. These sources also provide you with fiber, vitamins and minerals.

Watch out for the carbs contained in highly processed foods such as white bread, white rice, candy and sodas which are digested quickly and contribute to weight gain.

Read more about choosing good carbohydrates. Some people prefer to eat healthy carbs on a limited basis for weight loss. Sample low carbohydrate diet.

Quick Tips For Adding Good Carbs and Healthy Carbs

1. Eat oatmeal for breakfast. A bowl of hearty whole grain oats will keep you satisfied for hours. Without sugar and butter added, it is also low in calories.

2. Eat whole grain snacks. Ditch the white flour pastries and high sugar snacks. Kashi makes great snack bars made with whole grains.

3. Add beans to your dinner. The carbohydrates in beans are low glycemic, meaning they are converted into glucose slowly. As a result they provide a steady stream of energy. Healthy carbs help to keep your body functioning properly. Choose your carbohydrate foods carefully for the best health.
