There are so much confusion about the issue of good carbohydrates and bad carbohydrates in recent years... this might aid clear up some of that confusion for you and set you on a clearer path to lifelong fat loss success and more healthy eating.

Firstly, a lot of people are not "low carb" believers (many definitely don't think very low carbohydrate diets are healthy), but do believe that among the main reasons that the vast majority of people struggle to ever reduce weight is that they're over-consuming processed refined carbohydrates for example pasta, bagels, breads, cereals, rice, muffins, sodas, juices, candies, crackers etc.

Even carbohydrate sources that majority of the people think are "healthy" really are just excess calories that don't really contain significant nutrient density... and many varieties of breads and cereals claim to be "whole grain" through clever marketing although in reality, the first ingredient in them is refined flour, which one is just gonna spike your blood sugar and cause an insulin surge. After years of eating excess processed carbohydrates, it becomes more difficult and harder for insulin to do it's job and continue handling all of this blood sugar, and insulin resistance and eventual type 2 diabetes can take place in lots of people.

For many, the opinion on this is that the majority of people struggling to reduce weight would get much better results by following these sorts of guidelines:

1. Decrease overall grain-based foods in your diet (pasta, cereal, crackers, rice, etc) and concentrate more of your diet on healthy free range, grass-fed meats and eggs, raw grass-fed dairy, and a whole a lots of vegetables.

2. Rather than grains for most of your carbohydrate intake, try getting most of your carbs from vegetables, sweet potatoes, and a variety of berries and whole fruits (NOT fruit juices, which eliminate the useful fiber as well as other crucial nutrients in the fruit)

3. If you are gonna get any grains at all, concentrate on the most nutrient dense and fibrous portions of the grain... the bran and the germ. This means that the healthiest ideas are using oat bran rather than oat meal, and using wheat germ and rice bran by adding up them to your salads, yogurt, cottage cheese, soups, smoothies, etc. This technique you get all of the most nutrient dense parts of the grains without all of the extra starches and calories.

4. To replace the void if you are accustomed to eating large quantities of cereals, bread, pasta, and many other carbohydrate sources... try filling that void with additional healthy fats such as avocados, guacamole, nuts, seeds, nut butters and healthy proteins like grass-fed raw dairy and grass fed meats, whole free-range organic eggs, etc. Healthful fats and protein sources go a long way to satisfying your appetite, controlling proper blood sugar and hormone levels, and assisting you to make real progress on weight loss for life.

With all of that said, here is one a favorite carbohydrate source that's high in fiber as well as contains a high density of antioxidants, fiber, vitamins, and minerals... it is yams and/or sweet potatoes. Try slicing them into slim slivers and sauteing them with one or two tablespoons of water in a pan for about five minutes for a quicker healthy carb (rather than baking them for over an hour). Finish them off with a touch of grass-fed organic butter and a few cinnamon and you have got a delicious and healthy carbohydrate side dish!
