Choose Your Carbs Based on whether they are “Natural” Versus Processed

If you want the best results, you would be wise to avoid (or at least moderate) processed carbs including white sugar and nearly all products made from white flour including baked goods, bread, crackers, pretzels, pasta, bagels, and so on. Switch mostly to natural, unprocessed carbs like vegetables, oatmeal, yams, brown rice, potatoes, beans, lentils, etc.

You could probably consume small amounts of sugar and refined carbs and still lose weight as long as you continued to burn more calories than you took in each day. But the high calorie density isn't the only reason to avoid processed carbs. Refined carbohydrates provide little or no nutritional value and have an adverse affect on insulin levels (which adversely affects fat loss). You shouldn't just be concerned with the number of calories you eat each day; you should also be concerned with the quality and nutritional value of those calories. Your goal is to get the most nutritional value out of every calorie you consume.
