ABOUT BAD CARBS
Not all carbs are created equal.
Foods with a high glycemic index (GI) can make your blood sugar levels spike, which can make your body store fat and encourage you to overeat.
Bad carbs have these characteristics:
- White bread High GI rating, zero fibre, few nutrients
- White bagel Same as white bread, plus an average bagel equals as many as four servings of bread
- Potatoes High GI rating, lends itself to frying or loading with butter and other toppings
- White cereals High GI rating, no fibre, often loaded with sugar
- Soft drinks GI rating through the roof, calories galore, zero nutrients, don't fill you up
- Ice cream High GI rating, loaded with fat and sugar
- "Light" and "fat-free" foods High GI rating; manufacturers often fill these salad dressings, yogurts and other low-fat foods with sugar for taste
- Instant white rice No fibre means a sky-high GI rating
- Bananas and melons High GI rating because of their sugar content; eat in moderation as these tasty fruits are a good source of vitamins
