Most doctors and nutritionists agree that refined carbohydrates and sugar are unhealthy. In fact many people would agree that this is true, although there are still people who think that a low fat diet is better for losing weight and heart health. However, a diet deliberately low in fat usually has more sugar than it normally would. This is because fat molecules have the ability to carry taste to the sensors on the tongue. Take away the fat, and you take away a lot of flavor. But the addition of sugar is not the answer. Refined carbs have little to no fiber, beneficial nutrients and can lead to rapid spikes in blood sugar, contributing to hunger, obesity and disease such as diabetes. If you’re going to eat carbs, then eat whole, unprocessed carbs that resemble what they looked like in nature. Fruits and vegetables, whole grains and nuts will give you the proper nutrients, will fill you up, and are a handy, portable pick-me-up in the late afternoon. Give me your thoughts on this.
