In recent decades, the reputation of carbohydrates has dramatically shifted from a vital nutrient to a dietary enemy for those pursuing weight loss. But, should we really label this contentious macronutrient as harmful? According to Susan Bowerman, the Director of Nutrition Training at Herbalife, carbs might simply be misunderstood. People on low or no-carb diets often avoid the obvious carb-rich foods like bread, pasta, and potatoes. However, there are a plethora of other foods that also contain carbs.
Why is fiber crucial in our diet? A fact often overlooked is that fiber, a pivotal dietary factor, is also a type of carbohydrate. It is found in fruits, vegetables, and grains and plays a significant role in maintaining regular bowel function.
Carbohydrates to steer clear of are the highly refined and processed ones, often found in pastries, biscuits, white bread, and pasta, along with certain savoury foods such as pizzas.
Consider trying Herbalife’s Oat Apple Fiber Drink; it’s a delicious, low-calorie option that supplies 5g of fiber per serving. Bonus: It’s sugar-free and tasty!
