Over the next few blog posts, we want to share with you some of the highlights from our
To start, we’ll share 10 rules of carbohydrate intake that will maximize fat reduction while decreasing inflammatory bowel conditions, skin problems, and pain. Here are the first three:
Rule 1: Reduce your grain intake, especially wheat.
Wheat raises blood-sugar levels quickly, similar to sugar. White-flour-based foods have a high glycemic index and will spike blood insulin levels quickly. This stops fat burning, and any excess calories will be stored as fat. Even whole-wheat flour will have a similar effect, although it is not as harsh on the body as white flour.
Those sensitive to gluten need also be aware of wheat’s destructive capabilities. Gluten can cause skin, bowel, and joint conditions that can be very harmful.
Rule 2: Reduce other common grains.
Gluten allergies affect a large majority of Americans, but even non-gluten grains such as oats can become contaminated by gluten during their processing. Look for “gluten-free” on the label while shopping if you are gluten sensitive.
Rule 3: Carbs should mostly be fibrous.
Fibrous carbs, including many green vegetables, have very low carbohydrate content. This means they are an ideal fat loss food. Dark vegetables are high in antioxidants.
The best sources are kale, broccoli, and lettuce. Cabbage, cauliflower, mushrooms, green beans, onions, asparagus, cucumber, spinach, peppers, and zucchini are also good.
