Weight Loss and Carbohydrates Not all carbs are created equal. Like all foods, there are good carbs and bad carbs. Good carbs, when consumed in proper amounts, can help you gain lean muscle and burn more fat. Bad carbs (if consumed too much) will undoubtedly mess your insulin sensitivity and cause you to gain more weight, especially around your belly. When it comes to good carbs, pretty much any vegetables and fruits are good. Dark green leafy vegetables and cruciferous vegetables are very nutrient rich with very low sugar content and high in fiber - making it the carb of the choice. And if you’re craving for some starchy carbs, sweet potatoes are a great choice. It’s sweet enough to satisfy your sweet cravings and it has a fairly low glycemic index, so your insulin won’t sky rocket like other starchy foods. What are the bad starchy carbs? breads, pasta, rice, sugar, refined white grains ................
