Carbs

Carbs are often given a bad rap in mainstream dieting, with a reputation for being heavy and fattening. But in fact carbs are an essential dietary category, and help you feel full for longer. Lighter carbs like bread, pasta, and rice are quite good for you on their own. It’s just when you have too much or cover them in creamy sauces and sugary spreads that they get fattening.

Popcorn

Since popcorn is sold alongside chips at the store and movie theatre, it’s easy to see it as junk food. But since it’s made of corn (a grain) and isn’t at all dense, it’s not really unhealthy unless you drown it in butter. In fact, it has all the same nutrients as corn such as fiber and vitamin B.

Dark Chocolate

Of course, chocolate is most associated with desserts, which puts it in the “unhealthy” category. But in fact, pure cocoa has flavonoids, which can improve heart health, blood pressure, and concentration. Since dark chocolate has minimal sugar, you can eat a little every day without worrying.

You’re Constantly Tired

Carbs are the primary source of fuel for your whole body, so if you don’t eat enough of them you’ll end up feeling tired all the time. Of course, this doesn’t mean you should load up on sugar and white bread, because the effects of these so-called simple carbs are short-term and you’ll soon feel hungry and tired again.

Bloating

Carbs are often considered “guilty” for causing bloating, but that’s only true if your carbs come from white flour and refined sugars. If you reduce all carbs to the minimum you’ll also reduce the amount of fiber you intake, which will cause bloating.

You Can’t Focus

Carbs are very important for your brain, so if you can’t focus on work or on any other task, have some whole-wheat bread or sweet potatoes for lunch and you’ll see the improvement instantly.

You’ll Lose Water Weight

As soon as you stop providing simple carbs to your body, it will be forced to eliminate the excess weight it’s been holding onto. This can give you additional motivation if you’re on a weight loss journey.

You Won’t Be Hungry Anymore

Simple carbs, the type that can be found in white bread, cause the blood sugar to rapidly increase or decrease, which is why you often feel hungry even though you just ate. You can expect this to stop once you eliminate bread.

You’ll Have More Energy

You won’t experience those odd energy level drops you probably have now. Instead, you’ll consistently feel more energized and in turn, be more productive. Also, white bread has virtually no fibers that are crucial for your digestive system.
