Weight loss --- best time to eat carbs

 

Consult the chart below to find out when to eat each of the three main types of carb foods.


Carb typeExamplesWhen to eat
Fiber-richVegetables (e.g., broccoli, spinach, carrots, tomatoes, celery, cucumber, lettuce, green pepper, pumpkin, Spring Onins, onion, cabbage, etc.)
Peas
Beans
Legumes
Most fruits
Eat often, and any time of day (especially for veggies)
StarchySprouted whole grain breads
Corn
Sprouted grain pasta
Yams/sweet potatoes
Oats
Long grain rices
During the 3 hours or so after exercise
Refined sugaryDesserts
Fruit juice
Processed foods

Sports drinks
Most commercial nutrition bars
Dates, figs, raisins, dried fruits
Eat rarely, and during the 3 hours after exercise.

 

Ultimately when making your carb choices, it advisable to always replace "WHITE" with "BROWN": this is the first time in a world of racial discrimination that it is

generally accepted that "Brown" is better than "white". Here, most of our food is

 full of carbs hence our large and proud bellys. White bread, white rice, flour spaghetti,

 garri, e.t.c are all major culprit in belly fat. While it is almost difficult to eliminate

entirely the consumption of these food type, i advice you reduce it, replace it with the

healthier version and sometimes alternate. Thankfully we now have brown rice, whole

grain spaghetti, whole grain bread, and wheat swallow in Nigeria
