The Pro-carb Diet

January 24, 2008 | Filed Under Health and Fitness 

Contrary to the principles which other diets advocate, the abs diet recommends that you include fiber and carbohydrates into your meals. Yes, you heard right. It includes carbohydrates as an essential part of your diet. Before you bat an eyelash, be informed that the carbohydrates which are endorsed by the abs diet are those included in foods which have been processed the least, such as whole-grain breads and cereals.

These sources of carbohydrates and fiber also contain healthy amounts of vitamin E, zinc, protein, and a host of other minerals which your body needs. Ironically enough, these foods prevent your body from storing excess fat in your abs diet, since you get enough of the energy needed to burn them out. Included in this food category are brown rice, and whole wheat pasta and pretzels. Including these foods in your meals ensures that your body is guarded against obesity, heart disease, an increase in blood pressure, and certain forms of cancer.

This food group in your abs diet is made out of grains, such as rye, wheat, and oats. These are particularly the ones which are rich in the nutrients that you need in your abs diet. While the abs diet does encourage eating bread, it does shy away from certain bakery products and pastries such as white bread, those which are labeled as wheat instead of whole wheat, bagels, and dough nuts.

These products contain the wrong part of the grain; during processing, the nutritious bran and germ part of the grain is virtually discarded, leaving only the starch, which can store up in the body and will eventually end up as flab around your stomach. Remember the key to buying bread and other grain products; if whole grain is not in the label, then you’re better off purchasing something else.
