Day 10: Carbohydrates

How did you do with your fats yesterday? Did you avoid the bad ones, and have enough of the good ones?

Today we are talking about carbs, which should consist of 40% of the calories you eat. Now don't take this as a invite to gorge on bread, pasta and other refined carbs. While bread and pasta are oaky
in moderation, you don't need it with every meal and keep an eye on your serving sizes. (And if you are eating pasta skip the breadsticks or garlic bread) the key is to eat balanced meals.

Instead I want you to focus on getting your carbs from fruits and vegetables. There is a reason we are supposed to get seven servings a day! Try eating a couple fruits and or veggies with your three main meals and having a two part snack once or twice through out the day.

A two part snack is one protein and one fruit or veggie. This will help keep you full and satisfied all day long. Now remember I am not telling you, you can't have grains. I am telling you that the largest majority of your carbs on most days should come from fruits and veggies. Try to limit breads and pastas to one meal a day or take baby steps by cutting it from one meal at a time.

You can do this!
