One of the main ways to avoid health problems and achieve weight loss is to eat a healthy balanced diet. The food you eat is the fuel for your body, food gives you the energy to do what you need and want to do. The quality of the fuel is critical to how well your body works. Carbohydrates are a large part of the fuel that you use. Eating the right carbohydrates can make a big difference in you health, your weight loss, even how happy you are, and how you feel overall. A good analogy is like putting watered down gas in your car, it's not going to run right with bad fuel. Neither will your body.

The best diet program is a balanced one. One that has 25% fat, 37% protein and 37% carbohydrates. Some people don’t agree with these numbers but a good balance is the best diet for most people, unless you have a health issue that requires you to follow a special diet.

There are 2 types of Carbohydrates. Simple and Complex. Simple carbohydrates are ones that break down in the body fast, and give a spike in your insulin levels. Also a spike in energy. The energy spike is short lived, and you come down lower than you were before. The insulin spike is your body’s way of keeping a balance, to lower blood sugar back to where it should be. During the time period when your insulin level is up, your body will not burn fat as fuel. this is when your body stores the carbs as fat.

Complex carbohydrates on the other hand keep your body in a balance, no spike in insulin. They also give you energy that is longer lasting and much better for you. You can still burn fat and achieve weight loss when you're in the balanced state. You have more time to burn the calories so they are not stored as fat.

The problem with simple carbohydrates is that they are quick and easy to eat, and most of them taste good. Foods like cakes, cookies, candy, chips, things made with white flower, white rice, white pasta. That is what makes it so hard. Compounding the problem is the fact that when you eat these things, you just want to eat more.

The things you should eat differently are whole wheat breads, whole wheat pasta, fruits, vegetables, legumes, brown rice and some potatoes. You should avoid simple carbohydrates as much as possible. You can eat them occasionally but limit them to birthday parties and special occasions. Store bought fruit juice makes you think they are good for you; the problem is they add so much sugar to it, the sugar far out weights the fruit juice.

To set up the best weight loss program, and to see how you really eat so you know what kind of fuel you are putting in your body. Look at the labels of everything you eat for a week and write down the grams of fat, carbohydrates, and protein in everything. Also look at the fiber, you can subtract the carb calories from what you eat by eating more fiber. Example, if you eat something that has 25 grams of carbs, and also had 8 grams of fiber, you can subtract the 8 grams from the 25 for your net carbs. 4 calories per gram. Add them up at the end of the day to see where you are. Then do it again for another week and try to get the fat to 25% and balance out the carbohydrates and protein.

First you will be surprised at how the numbers come out. Second you will be surprised at how you can easily change to get more balanced, and third you will be surprised at how you are starting to feel better. Good eating will make you feel good
