Carbs vs. Protein

So what do you need.  Protein or Carbs?  Somehow the concept that carbs are all bad has gained a lot of popularity but this simply isn’t the case.

Carbs from good sources are actually very good for you and offer a great source of energy for your body to turn into muscle and fuel.  The problem is what kind of carbs.  No don’t go eating a big mac and think your getting your carbs and protein all your getting is clogged arteries.

Good sources of carbs come from brown rice, whole wheat pastas, whole wheat breads, sweet potatoes, corn, whole oats.  All these things are an excellent source for clean carbs that fuel your body.

But between the two of them, protein and carbs, our bodies need both.  Be very wary of any diet that says to cut out any kind of natural food completely.
