| Contrary to belief, carbohydrates are not bad for your body, but eating too many carbs may cause you to gain weight. If you eat excessive amounts of refined carbohydrates, which are quickly absorbed into your bloodstream, you could upset your body's precise balance of blood sugar. This produces excess glucose which turns into fat. |
| This meal plan puts emphasis on lean protein, healthy fats, and unrefined carbohydrates. You will get more fiber, vitamins, and minerals which will slow the absorption of carbohydrates into your bloodstream. This prevents your body from producing excess glucose, so you'll experience less hunger and will be less likely to get sudden urges for sweets or extra portions. |
