Carbs are blamed for everything from obesity and diabetes to heart disease and acne. Before writing them off completely, it’s important to know that the kinds of carbs you eat, how much you eat, when you eat them, and what you eat them with, makes a huge difference. Inside you’ll find:
- Easy to follow advice for understanding, choosing, and counting carbohydrates wisely
- Practical ways to eat more whole grains and fiber while limiting your sugar intake
- Simple steps for setting your individual calories, carbohydrate, sugar, and fiber goals to achieve optimum health
Before you can shop and eat wisely, you need to make carbs work for you — choose the right whole grain carbs, eat less sugar, add more fiber. Nolan and Heslin give you the carb, fiber and sugar values for over 15,000 foods, 700 take-out items and 87 restaurant chains.
The Ultimate Carbohydrate Counter is your go-to guide to keeping an eye on your carb intake when you shop, eat out, or grab a quick snack.
