A wide variety of diets walking around the space Internetа or passed secretly from one to the other lucky ladies. If you carefully follow the trends in this area, you will notice that the first enemy No. 1 for a slim figure, was declared the fat, then in this post he was replaced by carbohydrates. After some time the carbs got full Amnesty… And suddenly a couple of years nutritionists will again change my opinion?

The number of calories supplied to the body, carbohydrates are in second place after fats. They provide almost 60% of the energy needs of man. Therefore, it is easier to lose weight, limiting the consumption of carbohydrates in the diet.

But without carbs, normal metabolism of proteins and fats in the body impossible. The most important source of energy for the brain is glucose, a carbohydrate, too. Limiting the consumption of carbohydrates, a person becomes lethargic, forgetful, increases the fatigue of the body. In order that the carbohydrates will only benefit you and not contributed to the emergence of excess weight, remember that they, like fats, are divided into harmful and helpful.

Bad carbohydrates nutritionists call “fast”. They have a simple chemical composition, so they are immediately utilized by the body. This dramatically increases the level of sugar in the blood and becomes the reason for the terrible appetite. And the extra sugar then goes to the fat. It is so eating as a snack bun or chocolate, after a short period of time you will once again feel the hunger. This hunger is false, in fact that your body has enough calories, but the brain is misled and signals that you should eat. You eat another Taco, to silence a false sense of starvation, again the release of sugar into the bloodstream. Quick carbohydrates usually have sweet taste and promote rapid weight gain. So limit the consumption of white bread, white rice, sugar, chocolate, carbonated drinks.

And here is a useful carbohydrates are digested by the body for a long time. Splitting them happening for quite a long time, and during this time the liver has time to convert sugar into energy needed by muscles and the brain. Chorus why nutritionists suggest to eat for Breakfast serving of complex carbohydrates: a bowl of porridge, muesli, muesli bars, vegetables or fruits. This will allow your body without fail to work almost until lunch. Moreover, foods that contain complex carbohydrates, rich in vitamins and minerals. Exactly complex carbohydrates are the basis of the Mediterranean diet. It is rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grain products, olive oil. Don’t be afraid to include in the menu pasta, get fat not from them but from fatty dips which are often served with pasta.

Some carbohydrates were hardly digested by the body. This fiber and pectin. These dietary fibers clean the intestines, like a good washcloth, improve digestion and stabilize the intestinal microflora. Complex carbohydrates help to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood, and then their regular consumption is an excellent prevention of atherosclerosis.

And how can that be, if painfully want sweet? Do not worry: if you do not abuse quick carbohydrates, they will not harm you. But a piece of chocolate can instantly stimulate your brain, boost memory and improve concentration.

Quick carbohydrates contribute to the production of the hormone of joy - serotonin. If the window is damp, overcast, the soul - longing, and painful you want sweet - treat yourself.

Note that the recent low-carb foods to compensate for the lack of carbohydrates excess fats and proteins. So don’t get carried away by them.

Oh, and one more rule - don’t eat complex carbohydrates before bed. This will cause the body all night to work. Dinner is better to make protein, and carbohydrates to eat for Breakfast.
