What Carbs Not to Eat While Dieting
Carbohydrates are an important part of the daily diet. They are one of the three macronutrients, the other two being fats and proteins. That said, there are good carbs, and there are bad carbs. These bad carbs are high in empty calories, and they cause a spike in blood sugars, which leads to insulin being released quickly. Insulin is a fat storage hormone.
Soda
Soda is a high-calorie, fast-absorbing carbohydrate that has no nutritional value whatsoever and should be avoided.
White Bread
White bread is high in carbs, low in fiber and causes a sharp spike in blood sugar levels.
Processed Baked Goods
Processed baked goods and pastries should be avoided. Some examples are doughnuts, cakes, cookies and muffins.
Alchohol
Various alcoholic beverages, such as beer, wine, mixed drinks and malt liquors, are high in calories and carbohydrates, and should be avoided.
White Rice
Although it is low in fat, white rice is high in carbs and also causes a spike in blood sugars, which can increase insulin production.
