The Good Carbohydrate Diet

"I don't know too much about good carbohydrates or bad carbohydrates, but I do know the diet that I'm on works. To me, any carbohydrate that can help on a diet is a good carbohydrate, no matter what it's nutritional value. Besides, even fats and other 'unhealthy' components have their place in a diet. It's all about finding a balance. Once you find that healthy balance, maintaining your diet will be easier than you think. Of course, like every diet, you have to stick to it in order for it to work." Beth

"The last time I heard the terms good carbohydrate and bad carbohydrate, I was in high school in nutrition class. It seems like you don't use your knowledge from high school; the teachers lied. But now, all this knowledge is resurfacing and it's becoming practical every day tidbits. Before I had a basic understanding of carbs and what they did, but now, with these diets this knowledge is coming in handy and I'm more of an expert. But these diets don't leave you out in the cold. They have guides for better eating. You can learn more about your bad or good carbohydrate and lots more." Harriett
