Be Carb Smart
Eat Wholesome Carbohydrates
Fruits, vegetables, beans, and whole grains, are healthy sources of carbohydrates. These can also be used to reduce your risk of heart disease and improve your digestion functioning.
Read your labels!
Make sure the grains you are eating are identified as "Whole" grains, such as whole wheat, brown rice, or whole oats. It's not enough to just be wheat bread!
Limit sugar in your foods
Sugars are a carbohydrate and a source of energy or calories. Sugars occur naturally in many foods such as milk, fruits, some vegetables, breads, cereals, and grains. Sugar can also be added to foods such as candy fruit drinks, and pop.
Try not to eat foods that have ADDED Sugar. This adds calories and helps to pack on the pounds, the more of it you eat i.e. POP!
