A modern person differs from a non-modern one not only in that he “hangs” all day on the Internet, uses a mobile phone and drives high-speed modes of transport.
A modern civilized man, unlike himself twenty years ago, is constantly losing weight. Or going to lose weight. In any case, we know a lot about what needs to be done for this. In particular, eat less carbohydrates and fats and more protein. What are carbohydrates? Most of us believe that those from which they are recovering, which means that we must drive them with a filthy broom from the diet and not let them back under any circumstances.
As with any universal belief, there is some truth and some misconception. To begin with, carbohydrates are not the products themselves, but the organic substances they contain. The most common of these substances are sucrose, fructose and glucose. And lactose - the one that is present in milk. Several foods contain several types of carbohydrates, such as sugar. In it glucose and fructose happily coexist.
And we need carbohydrates. Without them, we will wither, weaken, turn gray in the face and generally cannot live normally. Only carbohydrates are bad and good. From the good, we recharge our energy, from the bad, we “rush” mercilessly.
You ask: “What carbohydrates are good? What are the products?” The answer is simple: look at the recommendations for a healthy diet and say hello to them. Looking at these slender (literally) series of names, you can easily understand which foods are good carbohydrates, our chargers, and which ones not. The good ones are freshly squeezed vegetable and fruit juices, whole grain and bran bread, buckwheat and oatmeal,
brown rice, legumes, green vegetables and tomatoes. In addition to all of the above, you can also add mushrooms,
wholemeal pasta
, fruits, dark chocolate and milk products.
And what are bad carbohydrates? Those that sweeten our
taste buds, and then treacherously deposited in the form of fat on the hips and abdomen. Where can we get such “joy” from? Of course, from white bread, sweets, pastries, potatoes, pasta from fine flour and white rice. All these goodies contain mainly sugar and starch. And if you don’t have jogging after cakes, then extra pounds with such a diet will certainly be provided to you. By the way, Lyubov Orlova sometimes allowed herself to eat a cake, but after that she did 100 inclinations for matches scattered on the floor. And she remained at the same weight.
So do not hang the lock on your mouth, eat carbohydrates, but do it wisely. Another rule, observing that you will not noticeably recover. Eat your favorite sweet in the morning. It is advisable up to 12 hours. At this time, carbohydrates are best absorbed. So you can enjoy candy at breakfast and early dinner, but for dinner leave the squirrels and give the carbohydrates to the enemy.
In addition to products with a high content of these organic substances, there are those in which there is a minimal amount. Let's look at which foods are low in carbohydrates.
In fish and meat, they are practically absent. Few, but found in vegetables (cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes, radishes), mushrooms, lemons, oranges, watermelons. There are also less than 5 g (per 100 g) in nonfat dairy products, seaweed and shellfish.
Well, now you “know the enemy by sight”, as well as your friend. And if someone asks you: “What are carbohydrates, what products?” - you will know what to answer. And you can also independently plan your diet in such a way as to remain awake, energetic and fit.
