Are you eating enough carbohydrates?
Or do you avoid them because you think they make you "put on weight"?
It is not the healthy carbohydrates, but the unhealthy ones which are prohibitive when it comes to maintaining a healthy weight. Avoid the sugars, the white breads, the crackers and the bakery goods and instead get some of these into you - every day!👇
Healthy carbohydrates include:
🍚 chickpeas
🍚 lentils
🍚 legumes
🍚 fruit
🍚 vegetables
🍚 sweet potato
🍚 white potato
🍚 quinoa
🍚 couscous
🍚 oats
🍚 basmati rice
🍚 brown rice
As a rough guide, eat 2 handfuls of cooked carbohydrates per day 🤗
