Carbs as most know come in 3 varieties, Simple, complex, and fibirous. Simple carbs are any carbohydrate source that raises insulin levels substantually. i. e. any type of sugar( save fructose, and sugar substitutes) certain pasta's, white breads, white flours, white rice, white potatoes, sugary cereals, processed foods (shit that comes in microwavable boxes) etc. Fibirous carbs are anything green i.e. romaine lettuce(iceburg should be avoided) Snap
peas, broccoli, asparagus, califlour, etc. Also fibirous carbs can also come from supplementing with fiber itself, in forms of fiber therapies, fiber proteins, fiber flavoids, etc. Now carbohydrates that are complex are carbs that recieve a rating on the glycemic index of 55 and lower. There are lots, and lots of foods that meet this level or go below it, but if you are truly dieting, I'm only going to give you the nastiest tasting healthy options available. Quinoa, a very fibirous, complex carb that is like barley in consistency and texture. Barley-same as quinoa only this carb is the absolute lowest, most complex carb on the planet, also the nastiest tasting. Oatmeal, Plain Oatmeal, actually all of these carbs should have nothing in them, except for maybe cinnamon and splenda, but that's it. Sweet potatoes-they're name is decieving but this little treat is lower on the glycemic index than any of its relatives(white potatoes, red potatoes, White sweet potatoes) It's flesh should be orange, not white. And of course Basmati Brown rice, (plain), hahaha, this shit is sooo nasty it's not even funny but if you are dieting you better man up to a plate of this good lovin or you're not truly dieting. So there is my list of the most complex cabs in existence.
Now how
YOU should use these little numbers. One, jump off that low-carb diet...You'll hit the wall sooner or later so start introducing these wonderful carbo's in your life again. Stay away from all fast digesting, simple carbohydrates, because they raise insulin levels and insulin being the most powerful hormone in your body has either the abilty to fuel protein synthesis or make those carbs turn into fat. Fast carbo's should only be utilized
After a workout and that's it. Don't touch this shit at any other time of day, night, twilight, dawn, I don't give a shit don't touch it. Eat all the Fibirous carbs your mouth can handle,
NO ONE HAS EVER GOTTEN FAT FROM EATING TOO MANY VEGETABLES, well veggies that are butterless mind you. Now Complex carbies...Alright, this is simple-eat these in the morning after your morning cardao-sess, again before your workout, and again after your workout if you choose to skip fast carbo's altogether. Eat no more carbs at anytime of day. This will make you tired, and drained no doubt, so now you start eating nuts, oz. of wonderful nuts. Also supplementing with fish oils and primrose oils are also good things too. That's the answer to the carb question, my response to going zero-low carb diets(directly aimed at the fatty who started this thread) And my take of carbs themselves. Peace peeps, I've got my cardao to attend to.
