A national fascination with low-carb diets has many Americans
eliminating carbohydrates from their eating plans in record "grams."
But before you reconstruct your personal nutrition pyramid, there's
something you should know.
"There are carbs that are very, very good, and some that are less
good, but your brain and body must have some carbohydrates every day,"
says Heller.
Moreover, because complex carbohydrates (those rich in whole grains
and fiber) keep you feeling full longer, they also help you to eat less
-- and lose more!
But eliminating this important food group isn't our only
carb-related mistake. According to dietician Rachel Brandeis, MS, RD,
just as troublesome is the belief that all no-carb or low-carb foods
are healthy, or that you can eat them in any amount.
"Much like the low-fat diet craze, where everyone thought that if a
meal had no fat, it had no calories, similarly people have come to
believe that if it has low carbs you can eat as much as you want and
not gain weight," says Brandeis. "And that is simply not true." Eat
enough of anything, she says, and you'll gain weight.
