Eat BETTER carbs, not FEWER carbs!
What's a "Smart Carb Choice"?
"Smart carbohydrates" are carbs that are:
- higher in fiber (so they digest relatively slowly, giving you long-lasting slow-burn energy)
- full of vitamins, minerals and other phytonutrients;
- friendly to your blood sugar, hormones, and digestion;
- versatile and easily cooked;
- whole, relatively minimally processed foods
Smart carbs add value to your body and make you healthier
Thus, making smart carb choices means:
- Choose high-quality, health-promoting foods.
Remember: Quality First
The Smart Carb List
Smart carbs include:
- fruit (fresh or frozen)
- starchy tubers such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, artichokes, etc.
- other starchy fruits and veggies, such as plantains or sweet winter squashes (e.g. Hubbard, butternut, buttercup, kabocha)
- whole, minimally-processed grains (such as quinoa, brown or wild rice, slow-cooking oats, buckwheat, sprouted grains, etc.)
- beans and legumes
Try these slow-digesting, high-fiber, nutrient-rich smart carbs and you'll look and feel, better.
When and How to Eat Smart Carbs
At every meal eat about 1 cupped handful of slow-digesting, high-fiber, nutrient-rich smart carbs.
Start with this and see how you feel.
