How to Aviod Crappy Carbs Forever!
It is easy to get hooked on sweets and other highly processed carbs. I know because I was once one of the addicts (long time ago). I weaned myself off the bad carbs and I know you can too. There is no nutritional value to these empty carbs, they offer calories but no fiber or protein, so you won't feel full and you will continue to eat until you have finished the entire package. The obvious ones to avoid; soda, cookies, crackers,cakes,pie,candy. Make these choices on special occasions such as birthdays and holidays View it as a 'cheat' meal. Non-obvious ones are 'healthy' subs from sandwich shops and turkey burgers. It's not the meat or the veggies but the bread on the top and bottom. It is easier than you think, at barbeques and restaurants eat the burger without the bun or only half the bun. I love sandwiches myself and don't want to induce heart palpitations. I know how you feel. First step go with whole wheat bread whenever you can, instead of italian and white. Once that becomes habit then try to limit the bread intake to a 6inch as opposed to the 12inch sub from subway. Try to cut back on the empty carbs and you will notice a REDUCTION in body composition. Eat right, train hard!!!
