Ive been told that to lose weight successfully I need to cut carbohydrates from my diet, is this true?
Many people mistakenly believe that cutting out carbohydrates is the best way to lose weight. Carbohydrates are found in every plant food and should make up a large portion of any healthy diet. The key is to choose carbohydrates wisely. Eat smaller portions throughout the day and focus on complex carbohydrates such as whole grains, legumes, vegetables and fruit. Simple carbohydrates in foods such as refined breads and pastas, pastries, candies, and soda offer little, if any, “good carbs” or fiber per serving. Our meals are perfectly portioned for carbohydrates.
