Hello Everyone! Here's my first secret.....YOU CAN EAT CARBS!!! :)
There is a difference though between carbs. We have the SIMPLE CARB and the COMPLEX CARB. A SIMPLE CARB is found in all your white food, meaning white bread, crackers,rice etc. These carbs keep you full for just a short period of time. A COMPLEX CARB is a whole grain...you can find these in your whole wheat breads, brown rice, and oatmeal. These carbs provide the essential vitamins you need to stay healthy and keep you fuller for longer.

I know you may be thinking...&quot;What about my Pasta, my white rice?!&quot; Well my dears thats ok! Next time you cook a meal try mixing your regular pasta with some whole wheat pasta and your white rice with some brown rice. May be a little different at first but you may just like it! Just remember to stick with the serving sizes always for anything you eat!

Thank you! I always knew carbs are not our enemy. I eat barilla angel hair pasta all of the time. it has more nutrients. I haven't found a whole wheat pasta that taste good. There is no purpose in eating if it doesn't taste good...well except to survive. :)

Anything white is not good...White bread, White potatoes, White rice and White pasta. The big reason is the lack of fiber to counteract the carbs. FIBER IS KEY! So like KeyLeigh said, stick with the whole grains and brown rice and you'll start feeling and looking a whole lot better. By the way, as a tidbit, brown sugar is not really healthier than white sugar. Brown sugar is basically just the reintroduction of molasses to sugar.

I totally agree. I think it is so funny how people thinking cutting all carbs is the way to go. Yes - don't eat too much white bread and bleached flour, but you need carbs to stay energized.
