Keep Carbs Closer

Posted on November 20, 2011 by


Give your eating habits a welcome change and show carbs some love. We tell you why they’re good for you and how to enjoy them the right way.

Keep Carbs Closer

Have Your Fill

Complex carbohydrates found in grains, beans, veggies, and fruits, are all high in fiber. Filling up on these foods is actually an effective method of losing weight, as fiber-rich foods cleanse the body, make you feel full, and quiet your cravings. Try this: Eat at least three cups of raw veggie salad before proceeding to your main entree. You’ll immediately feel full, and be able to enjoy smaller serving of the main course.

Hold The Salt

You can have more rice as long as you regulate your sodium intake. Like sugar, sodium is a powerful appetite stimulant. Limiting your sodium intake will make you appreciate the natural taste of food — as a result, you’ll enjoy and be satisfied with consuming only moderate portions. So, enjoy your carbs’ natural flavor, and skip adding bloat-causing salt.

Opt For Organic

Go for gold by making sure that the rice you eat is brown and organic. Research has shown that organic foods contain higher levels of nutrients, vitamin C, and antioxidants — everything to improve your immunity. And, brown rice has more fiber, aiding your digestive system and filling you up more quickly.
