Nutrition
By Nancy Adler
Did you know there is no real evidence that supports the idea that high-carb diets are fattening? Healthy no-carb diets have been proven effective for weight loss but with no guarantee of long-term success in keeping the weight off. Carbs don’t cause weight gain unless they contribute to high excessive amounts of calorie intake.
Carbohydrate quality is what it’s all about. Stay on track with high fiber carbs not refined and processed carbohydrates. Stop denying yourself the foods you love. All Carbs are not bad! Find the balance and put the dieting madness to rest once and for all.
