The good and bad carbohydrates... new scientific researchHi, My vacation is almost about to end now. And I'm so glad; not because it's ending but because I am able to achieve what I had planned. I was all set to loose my weight by atleast 5 kg and I've done it. in a month!!! Here's how I did it.Before you embark on anything of this sort you must seek your doctor's opinion. I was a little fat (77 kg for my 5'9'' body), while the ideal weight for me is 65. So I went to my doctor, told him that I want to loose weight and asked him what his suggestions were. Actually I had already read a lot on the internet about this highly sought for topic. (''loose weight'' is one of the top searches on Google) So I wasn't really benefited by the appointment. But still, it's good to let your doctor know what you plan to do with your body. He just told me the usual stuff.Cut down fatty oily food, go for carbs and proteins.Exercise as much as you can, etc. etc.Of course, all that is fine. But I guess the thing that really deserves the credit is Reader Digest's article in Nov. 2003 copy. It's not just another bogus article in a regular health magazine. It's Reader's Digest article, and if that is not enough, I checked several university websites which confirm the same point.


The point is simple: Get closer to nature. There are good carbs and bad carbs. Good carbs are those with low ''Glycemic index'' (GI )and they are the ones that are digested slowly in your body, hence you don't feel hungry often and hence the result. Q.E.D. And these good carbs are almost always the ones that are not ''processed'' much. for example, raw fruits and vegetables like beet, carrots, apple etc. On the other hand, the bad carbs are highly processed food stuff like: refined floor (maida), cooked potatoes, cooked beet. and sugar (of course) etc. There are plethora of links that give you a list of high GI and low GI food.https://weightlossforgood.co.uk/glycemic_index.htmhttps://bestdiettips.com/

So, eating 4 rotis (whole wheat) is probably isn't as bad as eating a cadbury bar (even though 4 rotis contain more calories than the cadbury bar) because sugar will be quickly absorbed in your body, giving you a blast of energy which, if not dissipated (or ''burnt''), will be stored in your body as extra glycogen which is later converted into fat. And, that's not all. You will feel hungry again. Making you take extra calories than you need. Your body burns calories continuously and you need constant and slow supply of glucose; not a burst, which is precisely what low GI foods give you. This way, you feel satisfied longer and end up consuming fewer calories. No more cravings!The bottomline: Remember that Mr. Tarzan had an excellent physique. And he didn't have a microwave, a frying pan or any utensils. Surrender to mother nature. Eat raw. Just look at the following numbers. Popcorn (70); raw corn (55)Cooked beet (85); raw beet (65)Cooked green peas(70); raw peas (50)White Wheat Floor(95) whole wheat (65)Happy dieting !!!
