Don't eliminate carbs, add healthy carbs to your diet !

Ask someone how to lose weight quickly, and chances are, they will respond with cut out carbs ! The reason behind that is the fact that cutting out carbs does cause fast weight loss. But that doesn't mean fat loss, and cutting out carbs could be causing your health some harm. I will tell you everything we need to know.

Ninety-five per cent of us will have tried cutting carbs before, and within this 95%, almost all of us will have seen weight loss in the first week or so.Whilethis seems epic, don't get carried away ! because weight loss isn't always the fat loss.

Your carb intake should be based on your activity level, as carbs are your main source of energy, the more active you are, the more you need. The best way to do this is to base your carbs off your total calorie intake.

While no food should ever be banned completely, it makes sense to choose more nutrient-dense carbs and ones that are higher in fibre. so whole-grains like brown rice and quinoa as well as sweet potatoes, fruits and vegetables. These should make up at least 80% of your carb intake, then you can have 20% leeway for more junk-style carbs.
