Carbs

[coachGia]

I have to admit that ever since I gave up bad carbs (white rice, white pasta, white bread etc) a few weeks ago, I have been kind of abusing it... I am wondering if this is the reason why I havent lost a single pound of Inch in the lost few weeks... I am eating about 76 grams of carbs from 100% whole grain bread or whole wheat tortillas!!! Is anyone having the same problem... should I cut down??? Any input would be awesome... Thnks

Gia I would try it. See what happens when you cut those things out for a week or two. My guess is that you've identified the exact issue. Your body needs carbs. That's for sure. The problem is that your body can only process and store a certain amount of carbs. When we eat too many carbs, the body ends up storing them as fat. There's no where else for them to go. Check out this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNYlIcXynwE&feature=player_embedded.

It is worth at least trying. Again, don't cut them entirely, just reduce the amount. See what happens. You might just be amazed.
