Not all carbs are bad


We often hear people saying “avoid carbs to lose weight.” But is that a healthy way to lose weight?

Carbohydrates, or carbs, are our body’s main source of energy in a healthy, balanced diet. A diet without carbs can lead to loss of health. 

Many people equate carbs with foods such as rice, pasta, and bread. But not all carbs are bad for you! 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐟𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐬, 𝐯𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐬, 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬!

Make dietary fiber your ally in healthy weight management! Found only in plant foods, dietary fiber helps you feel fuller for longer, and benefits your health in many other ways. Try to include more fiber-rich foods such as psyllium husk, vegetables, and fruits in your meals every day.

我们经常听到人们说“避免摄取碳水化合物来减肥”。 但这是一种健康的减肥方法吗?

碳水化合物是人体从健康均衡的饮食中获取能量的主要来源。不含碳水化合物的饮食,会让健康受损。

许多人将碳水化合物等同于米饭、意大利面和面包等食物。 但并非所有的碳水化合物都对人体有害!碳水化合物也存在于水果、蔬菜、全谷类食物以及其他的健康食品中!

让膳食纤维成为健康体重管理的良伴!膳食纤维仅存在于植物性食物中,可帮助人体长时间地保持饱腹感,并能以其他许多方式助益人体健康。尽量在每天的饮食中加入更多富含纤维的食物,例如:洋车前子、蔬菜和水果。
