Q2264038 Inglês
CARB LOAD You CAN eat your favourite carbs and still lose weight − thanks to clever hack


(1º§) CRAVING carbs but worried they won't help you hit your weight loss goals? Well, think again - pasta and potatoes don't have to be off the menu, especially thanks to one nifty trick. It all comes down to how you serve and eat them. Instead of piping hot pasta and steaming potatoes, consider letting your carbs cool right down before you eat them. Why? Because cold carbs have a lower glycaemic index.


(2º§) Personal trainer Nick Mitchell, the founder of Ultimate Performance, says: "Foods with a lower glycaemic index can help you lose weight because they make you feel full for longer. "They can also stop the sharp rise and fall of blood sugar levels that result in hunger pangs, which can lead to raiding the cupboard, binge eating and weight gain."


(3º§) Packing your lunch for work? Cook your carbs the night before and eat them cold the next day. Cold pasta or rice salad with lots of veggies, or cold potato salad with creme fraiche rather than mayonnaise, and lots of herbs, are ideal. Some carbs, including beans and potatoes, are also a great source of resistant starch.


(4º§) This kind of starch resists digestion, and acts as a fibre, offering lots of health benefits including providing your gut with prebiotics (great for the good bacteria in your gut). It's also thought it can help reduce inflammation in the body and may help prevent colon/bowel cancer and IBS. Plus, it can help you shed weight too, by helping you feel fuller for longer. Handily, you can boost the resistant starch in your carbs by eating them cold, and this can help you avoid blood sugar spikes too.


(5º§) Carbs often get criticised and sidelined as inherently 'bad', but we really shouldn't demonise them - or food in general. Registered dietitian Megan Hilbert, explains that carbs are essential to our health and wellbeing: "In fact, they are the most important source of energy for our bodies." She says: "They provide fuel for the nervous system, our organs, especially the brain, and muscle tissue.


(6º§) "Carbs have gotten a bad rap over the years but they are important for a ton of functions in the body, like providing a quick source of energy for workouts, fuelling the brain which accounts for 20 per cent of our energy needs, and powering cells in the body to keep us going." So do dodge chips where you can, but when it comes to healthy whole carbs, like brown rice, wholegrains, oats and beans, eat up!

Vamos analisar a questão que exige a interpretação do termo "nifty" no contexto do texto fornecido.

Alternativa correta: A - "Nifty" refers to a clever and useful trick or solution to include carbs in your diet.

Para compreender por que essa é a alternativa correta, vamos revisar os parágrafos relevantes do texto. No primeiro parágrafo, encontramos a frase: "It all comes down to how you serve and eat them. Instead of piping hot pasta and steaming potatoes, consider letting your carbs cool right down before you eat them. Why? Because cold carbs have a lower glycaemic index." Isso sugere que o "nifty trick" é uma solução inteligente e útil para incluir carboidratos na dieta sem comprometer os objetivos de perda de peso.

A seguir, vamos justificar por que as outras alternativas estão incorretas:

B - "Nifty" means that eating cold carbs is a complicated and time-consuming process.

Essa alternativa está incorreta porque o termo "nifty" é utilizado para descrever algo prático e eficiente, enquanto essa opção sugere que o processo é complicado e demorado, o que contradiz o sentido original do texto.

C - "Nifty" means that pasta and potatoes are unhealthy and should be avoided.

Essa alternativa está incorreta porque o texto afirma que, ao resfriar os carboidratos, eles podem ser consumidos de maneira saudável. O termo "nifty" não implica que pasta e batatas são prejudiciais, mas sim que há uma forma engenhosa de incluí-los na dieta.

D - "Nifty" is used to describe the sensation of feeling full after eating carbs.

Essa alternativa está incorreta porque o termo "nifty" refere-se à maneira inteligente de preparar e consumir os carboidratos, não à sensação de saciedade que eles proporcionam.

Em resumo, a alternativa A é a correta porque "nifty" é utilizado para descrever uma solução inteligente e prática para consumir carboidratos de forma saudável.
