Are
you cutting carbs, hoping to whittle your waistline? Not so fast, my dear. It
turns out that not all carb-laden foods are bad for you. In fact, these
delicious foods on the “good” list can actually help you trim your tummy...
Bananas. Mother Nature’s most
perfect fast-food snack are slimming superstars that will fill you up and boost
your metabolism. Easily digestible, athletes love ‘em for their quick, sustained
carbohydrate energy.
Cereal. No, I’m not talking about
frosted puffs or sugar-coated flakes. But if you eat whole-grain cereal for
breakfast, the fiber will help you feel satisfied for hours.
Corn. Fresh yellow corn packs
more than just a kernel of antioxidants. It’s actually one of the best
non-green sources of the stuff. Why does that matter, you ask? Eating foods
with lots of antioxidants will boost your energy and help you lose unwanted
pounds!
Peas. Maybe you think that
because peas are starchy they’ll make you fat. Think again. Peas make a great
weapon against weight gain because they’re a pure carbohydrate. Their energy is
released slowly into your bloodstream, and that keeps you from getting hungry
again too soon.
Potatoes. No, not sweet potatoes,
which are superstar spuds in their own right. I’m talking about good,
old-fashioned white potatoes. That’s right—eat them with the skin on and you’ll
get 15 percent of your recommended daily allowance of fiber.
So what are you waiting for? Grab a fork and
dig in!
