It is a very regular occurrence in our practice and coaching that someone will ask for help with reducing the carb intake of theirs. Generally (but not always) it is since they would like to lose some weight.

When the typical individual talks about carbs of this sense, they're not talking about the useful carbs (fresh fiber) present in fresh veggies, for example. They are usually speaking about those troublesome "starchy carbs".

Seriously, it is not a great deal they need help with decreasing their consumption, since that would only be a question of keeping your mouth shut and not consuming it! What they really want is help with decreasing the intake of theirs and not feeling spoiled or deprived in the procedure.

While there are numerous directions we could take with this little carb reducing journey, these're 4 of the main points I usually make with patients from the start.

1) It's important to find out what you're working with.

Lots of people continue to think I'm speaking about adding a "spoonful" of sugar to the coffee of theirs when I ask about their sugar consumption, as well as they think about what this is related to the "carb" problem of theirs. I've had countless consultations in which anyone tells me they don't use sugar, or maybe they do not add sugar to your foods, or they don't often have sugar in the house... only to play them teach me five minutes later they start the morning of theirs with a bowl of cereal, or perhaps a bagel, or a piece of toast, or perhaps a flavored coffee on the method to your workplace.

Then, it's their sub or sandwich at lunchtime, and also the pasta or even pizza for dinner, the electricity drinks and pop, the snack foods, and on and on.

It's not just the Mary Poppins spoonful of sugar. It is all the foods, beverages, and different components that transform fast (and also in excess) to glucose. That's among the major problems with "carbs".
