Question

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!
