Good carbs?

to your body there is no difference.. the idea of good carbs and bad carbs was created by pseudo scientists.

just eat a balanced diet and dont eat more food than your body needs and you will be fine

This. There's really no such thing as "good carbs" or "bad carbs." Carbs are just carbs.

Carbs are carbs - no such thing as good and bad carbs!
Low carbs diet? Why? Fast weight loss? Realistically you are not feeding muscles - dropping glycogen levels to unhealthy sub normal standards and dropping water stores.

Good carbs are fruit and veges full of nutrients and packed with fibre. Bad carbs are starchy carbs (pasta / rice / cereal / any form of sugar / most root vegetables and wheat flours). I'm not a science type person - and my extremely basic understanding is that all carbs are converted by the body to sugar. Good carbs contain mostly fibre, and fibre isn't converted into sugar. The body will burn sugar (and other things your body treats as toxins / alcohols / poisons) before it burns fat.

Best of luck!

I'm trying to low carb it for awhile but I no they said there is a difference in good carbs and bad carbs. In general does anyone have a list of good carbs and bad carbs that I can eliminate completely ??

There is a difference between complex and simple carbohydrates, and the one is definitely healthier for your body than the other.

You need to worry about "good carbs" and "bad carbs" if you have problems with blood sugar levels. Other than that there is no difference for your body and for weight loss.

Fruit is a simple carb, white bread is a complex carb. Just saying...

Pecan pie is a good carb. Cause it's full of carbs and tastes good.
























Wait. Did I misunderstand the question?

There's quite a good explanation of simple vs complex carbohydrates here:

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_difference_between_simple_and_complex_carbohydrates#slide1

and a list detailing food that fits into each category here

http://ezinearticles.com/?List-of-Simple-Carbohydrates-and-Complex-Carbohydrates-Foods&id=1107314

Both links perfectly exemplify the saying...a little information is dangerous. Disregard both links.

I just looked at them. I laughed hysterically at the fact that the second article listed mostly simple carbs as complex carbs, and mostly complex carbs as simple carbs. My personal favorite was the fact that it listed milk in both lists.:laugh:
