LESSON 8
REDIRECT GOOD CARBS BAD CARBS
We live in a convenient world, but is it worth the cost?
WHAT'S A PERSON TO DO?
In Nutrition 101, we talked about how all foods have at least 1 of 3 macronutrients - protein, carbs or fat - and that fat is more than 2X as fattening as protein and carbs.
Most plants have all three macronutrients. Animals are all protein and fat.
In Processed Foods, we learned that processed carbs are fattening too.
But what are we supposed to do? Live on lettuce?
UNPROCESSED CARBS LEAD TO WEIGHT LOSS
Unrefined fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes are all high in carbs and mostly low in fat. That means they are all high in fiber and mostly low in calories. And that means we can eat till we're full and not gain weight!!!
