Can I Eat Carbs and Still Lose Weight?

Carbs get a bad rap, but are they really that bad? Time to de-myth the relationship between carbs, weight loss, and healthy living. At The Millennial Nutritionist, we take a close look at carbohydrates and how you can use them in your weight loss journey. From examining what exactly is a carbohydrate to providing tips on how to increase complex carbs and decrease refined carbs, this episode has it all. TMN Coach Hannah Abdulla, BS, RD is joining us to share tips and strategies on how to enjoy carbs in a way that will benefit you. Hannah is a registered dietitian and is currently working towards her MS in Nutrition Science. As a parent herself, Hannah knows firsthand how parenthood impacts your health and wellness journey.

3 key tips we cover about carbohydrates include:

  • Carbohydrates are essential for your body- this is where your energy comes from. Removing carbohydrates from your diet will leave you with low energy. 

  • Know the difference between simple carbohydrates (white bread, rice) and complex carbohydrates (whole wheat bread, quinoa, brown rice). Choose complex carbohydrates, they have more nutrients and fiber, leaving you feeling fuller longer.

  • Carbohydrates are more than bread, rice, and pasta. Carbohydrates can be found in fruit, sugary drinks (watch those Starbucks drinks and sweetened teas), fried food batter, lentils, ancient grains, and beans. Choose carbohydrates that will give you more nutritional bang for your buck.
