Stop Avoiding the Carbs

There seems to be this hatred of carbs, like carbs are the devil or something.  The cause of this is probably some very popular diets that really push “carb free”.  Unless it’s a no fat, no soda, or no sugar diet, you should probably approach it with a lot of caution.  Diets that restrict one kind of food are usually not a good thing.

The key to healthy diets is making sure you eat clean foods, if you don’t know what clean foods are google it, it means avoiding as much processed foods as possible, eating whole wheat breads and getting rid of white flour.  It means whole wheat pasta, whole grain oatmeal, more veggie, white meats, turkey, chicken, and lots of fish.  It means brown rice, and lots of water.

Don’t be afraid of carbs, carbs are key to getting your body fuel and building muscle.  Don’t steer away from it.  Kris Gethin has some great advice on carbs as well in the video below.
