True or False: ALL carbs are bad.

True or False: ALL carbs are bad. 

If you answered true... you're WRONG. (Sorry for yelling.) Now, read why. ;)

With a surge of people following the Atkins diet several years ago, we've all heard that cutting carbs out of your diet is a quick way to lose weight. Now, this is true... however, cutting any one food group out of your diet will help you lose weight. Initially. The truth is that there are different types of carbs: simple and complex. Take the next few minutes here to digest (haha!) the following chart... 

Ok, got it? Simple= bad; Complex= good. 

I don't think I can sum it up better than that but I can say that after eating more complex carbs over simple ones, I FEEL better. I don't crave sweets as much as I used to- which was A LOT and it's easier to turn down sweets when offered. 

Two Week Challenge

Your mission should you choose to accept it... 

1. Create a Meal Plan for the next two weeks incorporating proper portions (see earlier post).
2. Eat 5-6 smaller meals throughout each day.
3. Drink a minimum of 8 glasses (16 ounces) of water a day. NO COKES. 
4. Follow this for two weeks. No "cheats". 

I promise you that you will FEEL the difference in your body. Try it. Post back. 

Think. Work. Achieve. The Choice is Yours.
