What Are Good Carbs?

Good and bad carbs- what's the difference? xxx?

  • So I got told to lose weight, carbs are ok, but as long as they are the 'good carbs'... so whats the difference between good and bad carbs ? xxx and what are some examples of good and bad carbs :)

  • Answer:

    Bad carbs are processed carbs. Like white sugar and most bread and pasta that has been bleached. Why is bleaching bad? Because it removes all the nutrition, whats the point of eating something is you dont get anything but empty carbs from it. Also empty/simple carbs dont keep you full nearly as long. SO you can eat 2 slice toast or a handful of almonds and the almonds will keep you fuller longer. Example of good carbs.... Veggies, fruits, Whole grain (ceral, bread, pasta), legumes, nuts, seeds, beans. Bad Carbs.... Refined grains like white bread and white rice Processed foods such as cake, cookies and chips Soft drinks Alcohol

Good carbs are natural carbs. Bad carbs are "refined" carbs and/or carbs that have added sugar beyond what is naturally produced. Veggies, fruit, beans have natural carbs. White rice, white bread etc. are refined. Pasta is often of the refined kind though you can get some that isn't as bad.
