Don't be misled by fad diets that make
blanket pronouncements on the dangers of carbohydrates, but be aware that some
kinds of carbs are far better than others.
 5 ways to add healthy carbs to your diet
1. Start the day with whole grains. Try a hot cereal, like old-fashioned oats, or a cold cereal that lists a whole grain first on the ingredient list. 2. Use whole grain breads for lunch or snacks. 3. Try brown rice, bulgur, wheat berries, whole wheat pasta, or another whole grain with dinner. 4. Choose whole fruit instead of juice.
An orange has two times as much fiber and half as much sugar as a
12-ounce glass of orange juice. 5. Bring on the beans. Beans are an excellent source of slowly digested carbohydrates as well as a great source of protein. |
