The primary sources of our body’s energy are carbohydrates, consisting of fibers and sugars. This is food like bread, pasta, rice, and cereal. Carbohydrates should represent about 40% of your daily calorie intake, 30% for proteins, and the other 30% remaining coming from fats that are “good” like omega-3 and flaxeed oils.
Unfortunately, most people enter into diets ignorant. They think that eating salads and drinking water are the key to losing weight, not knowing that if their body doesn’t receive a sufficient amount of carbs — you’ll have no energy and you’ll feel the results. The fact is, those people that eat foods high in carbohydrates like whole grains weight less than individuals that avoid high in fiber foods.
Whole grains have three parts to them, bran, germ, and starchy endosperm. White bread and pastries are known as refined grains and have been stripped of brain and germ. This is why foods like this, without any fiber or nutrients, are extremely unhealthy because all they have are calories remaining.
