Repost from @cartergood . Healthy Fat Loss Carbs 🥔🔥 ——— Let's set the record straight. Right here, right meow 😼 ⠀ There is absolutely-positively ZERO reason to think white rice & white potatoes are unhealthy, fattening, or in any way “bad” for you. ⠀ A lot of the animosity towards 'em has to do with this lil' ole thing called the Glycemic Index (GI) 🤓📊... ⠀ For a hot minute, the thinking was that foods with a higher GI — meaning they spiked blood sugar more rapidly than low GI foods — were unhealthy. But(🍑) as more research has come out, it's become more and more evident that the GI of a particular food has little to do with its healthiness or likelihood to be stored as fat in the long-term ❌ ⠀ Plus, there are plenty of situations where "unhealthy" foods have a lower GI than "healthy" ones... ⠀ For example, regular soda has a lower GI than watermelon 😱🍉 ⠀ Does that mean soda is "healthier" than watermelon? Come on, now 😉 ⠀ Instead, what ACTUALLY matters for losing & gaining weight is... ⠀ You guessed it —> ✅ The number of calories you're consuming each day ⠀ Another thing to note is that each one of these carb sources has a unique nutritional profile. Brown rice, for example, may be higher in magnesium and potassium, but white rice has more calcium and folate. ⠀ The same is true for different nutrients in sweet 🍠 vs. white potatoes 🥔, too... ⠀ The Bottom Line is this👇 ⠀ Don't let anyone tell you brown rice or sweet potatoes are magically better for you than white rice or potatoes. Each is uniquely healthy, and what really matters is choosing the one YOU enjoy most. ⠀ Which makes Me curious... ⠀ Of the four, which two would you choose? 🤔 Let me know down below! ⠀ Personally, I could get down ‘n’ jiggy with any combo of the four. But if I had to choose, I'd go with sweet ‘taters & white rice 😋 — ⠀ #cartergood #weightloss #losingweight #carb #carbs #healthycarbs #lowcarb #keto #fatloss #weightlossfood #diet #dieting #dieter #highcarb #carbsarelife #carbsafterdark #countingcalories #carbsarefriends #healthyfood #nutriton #balanceddiet
