Are you eating enough carbs?

Hey Tim!

You may have heard that eating a low carb diet can help with weight loss. And while there is some truth to that, its easy to get caught up in the extremes and forego carbs altogether.

Carbohydrates are actually necessary for good health, but its important to get enough of the right kind.

Are you getting enough carbs? Lets talk about it.

Carbohydrates tend to send mixed signals to the crowd. Some try to avoid them because theyve heard eating carbs causes weight gain, yet others can scarf down a plate of pasta and not be affected at all.

Theres a big misconception that all carbs are bad, but is that true? Not in the least. In fact, the right kind of carbohydrates are an important part of a healthy diet.

The best way to look at it is seeing carbohydrates through theglycemic index lens, a way to classify foods that can raise your blood sugar. Foods with a high glycemic index tend to raise your blood sugars much higher than foods with a low glycemic index
