Ep 19-July 8, 2024. Simple carbs vs natural carbs (fiber, nutrients)

Fasting can be a practical way to lose weight, 

1. There are certain foods that can make your fast easier to get through and certain foods that make fasting more difficult.  
2. -Carbohydrates are a major macronutrient and one of your body’s primary sources of energy..

Simple carbohydrates are foods that digest quickly and spike blood sugar faster and higher. Simple carbs are the foods you should limit or eliminate from your eating window & this includes:

1. Soda, fruit juices, or any sugary drinks

2. Baked goods such cakes, pies. & cookies. 

3. Packaged foods that is stored in the pantry or cupboard.

or

4.Breakfast cereals

Breakfast cereals tend to be loaded with simple carbs!

Complex carbohydrates are fokds that digest slowly and release glucose into the blood stream gradually. Complex carbs are the foods you should eat more of and they include:

1. Fresh fruit, vegetables, beans & whole grains. 

Whole grains are good sources of fiber, as well as potassium, magnesium.

I emphasize fresh or frozen fruits & veggies because of My own experience with canned vegetables: I ate canned vegetables for a whole week and I did not lose 1 pound.  why? because I didn't realize that canned vegetables are loaded with sodium!!! 

So this is why Understanding the difference between simple carbs snd natural carbs can help you choose the right foods for your eating window.
