6 carbohydrates that help you lose weight

  When we decide to go on a diet or start a healthier eating regimen, we often believe that carbohydrates and fats are the worst enemies. While it's true that we should cut many of these foods, not all fats are bad, nor do all carbohydrates go straight to our hips. ActitudFEM shared with us a list of 6 carbohydrates that we should continue to consume (or start to consume) and that, in addition to nourishing us, will help us achieve our weight loss goals: 1. Whole Grain Bread White bread is the enemy, but whole grain bread made from whole grains is necessary for weight loss because it helps us feel full for longer. Having a sandwich with turkey ham, panela cheese, and whole grain bread is an excellent meal. 2. Fruits and Vegetables Yes girls, fruits and vegetables contain carbohydrates, but they are super necessary for proper nutrition. They are low in calories, almost fat-free, and high in fiber. Recipe for Fruits with Cream Ingredients: - 1 cup of whipping cream - 4 tablespoons of sugar - 4 leaves of fresh mint - 1 cup of diced melon - 1 cup of mixed berries - 1 cup of diced honeydew melon Click here to see how to prepare this recipe. 3. Oats It is easy to prepare, delicious, and contains good carbohydrates. Oats are an excellent way to start your day; just make sure to eat them without sugar or artificial sweeteners. Oats help us feel satisfied (just like whole grain bread) and provide enough energy for the whole day, as well as containing fiber and iron. Recipe for Oats Ingredients - 1 cup of skimmed light milk - 3 tablespoons of 3-minute Quaker oats - 1 tablespoon of honey - 1 tablespoon of raisins Click here to see the steps to make this recipe.   4. Whole Grain Cereal Many people will tell you that you shouldn't have cereal for dinner or breakfast when you are on a diet. This is true if you're eating regular cereals. Look for those that are whole grain, and you can definitely include them in your diet, especially if you have them with a cup of light milk with extra calcium. 5. Rice This carbohydrate is great, but we shouldn't consume it after 6 PM. Prefer brown rice (just like pasta) and eat it without issues. Recipe for White Rice and Poblano Chili Ring Ingredients: - 190 grams of cream cheese - 3/4 cup of poblano chili strips - 1/2 cup of corn kernels - 1 cooked zucchini cut into small cubes - 1 cup of soaked and well-drained rice - 2 tablespoons of oil - 2 1/2 cups of boiling water - 1/4 onion finely chopped - 1 clove of garlic - 1 sprig of parsley - 1 tablespoon of powdered chicken broth If you want to prepare this recipe click here and find the procedure. 6. Beans Beans are an excellent source of carbohydrates for our diet. They help us feel satisfied and also contain a lot of iron.
