Are Carbohydrates Bad?
After reading this article I feel a little more informed about carbs
I’ll feel a little better about myself when eating my sandwich at
lunch time. One thing I try to remember is safe advice from my
Mother. Everything in moderation. Sometimes it’s hard but if you
put your mind to it, you can accomplish it.
I’ve recently joined an organization dedicated to fitness and
nutrition and I’m learning more everyday! If you’ve put off dealing
with your weight issues, nutrition and fitness take a look at this
site–click here. This organization is filled with people wanting to
make a difference not only in their lives but helping others
achieve the same positive results. It’s kind of a like a huge
“buddy system”. Give it a look here.
To your success and health!
Cheers!
They make you fat right? Come on it must be true, you read articles about it all the time. So they must make you fat…
right?
Here is the deal. There is one small problem, carbohydrates are very important. In fact, carbohydrates (especially the
right kind) are essential to your body. They aid in muscle growth, providing energy, as well as providing your body
many other benefits. So, Are Carbohydrates Bad? The answer is NO!
Now let’s be real. Lumping all carbs together into one category is like saying all quarterbacks who play in the NFL will
be just like Joe Montana. It would be absurd to call all carbs bad when vegetables and fruits are also carbohydrates.
With that said, I would have a hard time believing that you would think that a nutrition plan attempting to completely
purge carbohydrates would be a good idea. I have a feeling you are a pretty smart cookie (oh, that would be a bad
carb). So to suggest that all carbs are evil, is just plain nonsense.
Let’s take a step back and take a hard look at reality, compared to personal preference. I need to ask you a question.
Are you willing to wipe the slate clean and start fresh with the truth about carbohydrates? I am going to assume you
said yes, either way I am going to give you the facts.
ARE CARBOHYDRATES BAD?
Are Carbohydrates Bad? Will bread and grains make you fat? Uh, NO! Blanket statements just don’t work. The “don’t
eat carbs” or “Carbohydrates are Bad” statements are just that, Blanket Statements. Statements like these just
confuse the general public. The reason people get confused, is that most don’t have a nutrition background or truly
understand what qualifies as a carbohydrate. 95% of us look at food as simply that, FOOD. All blanket statements
have done is cause people to adjust their diets in a way that keeps their bodies from functioning properly. This is why
many people have been going out of their way to avoid certain foods, like bread, rice or potatoes. When in fact, these
foods can have a place in a balanced nutrition plan and can play a role in helping you lose weight or gain lean

2. muscle.
Now you know that carbs as a whole are not bad, BUT there are certain types of carbs that are not good for your
body. Generally, these types of carbs will make you feel bloated and tired. These types of carbs often contain
processed sugars, corn syrup, or are white flour based foods, and the list can go one with all the other processed crap
available. If you cannot grow it, or it doesn’t come from minimally processed whole grains, it is not good. Yep, simple
as that.
It comes down to the food manufactures like to confuse people. If they can get the general public to buy into what they
are saying about a particular food, macronutrient, or diet, they make money and lots of it.
So back to the question at hand… Are Carbohydrates Bad?
NO, but all of us could gain a better understanding to guide our eating habits. Eating vegetables and fruit, as well as
high quality, high fiber grains are an important part of healthy nutrition. If you truly want a balanced healthy nutrition
plan that will aid in weight loss or muscle gains you really need to have at least 100 to 200 grams per day depending
on your daily level of physical activity and exercise.
The overall message is, you cannot consume bucket-loads of refined low quality carbohydrates and chase them
down with and extra-large soda and say, “well they said carbs aren’t bad”. I know you are smarter than the average
bear and understand that you need to choose your carbohydrates wisely to have a healthy nutrition plan. It is about
eating more good foods such as lean proteins, colorful vegetables, a variety of fruits, high-fiber grains, healthy fats,
and cutting out the highly processed garbage such as candy, soda, sugar-loaded foods, poor quality breads, and
boatloads of pasta.
Another important factor is choosing the correct portions of the carbs you consume. This can be as important as the
kind of carbs you choose to eat. Grain and fruit carbohydrates should be smaller portions than vegetable carbs. If you
need assistance with nutrition, portion sizes, and proper balance of carbs, proteins, and fats you may want to check
out the 21 Day Fix on Beachbody On Demand. It has an amazing nutrition plan that creates the perfect balance of
nutrients and portions. If you struggle with cutting out the crap, you definitely want to take a look at adding a total
nutrition shake like Shakeology.
When it’s all said and done, if you are eating healthy and choosing wisely 85-90 percent of the time your body will be
happy, you will have energy, and you will lose weight, gain muscle or maintain depending on your goals. You now
know the truth to the question “Are Carbohydrates Bad?”
