Carbohydrates Have a Place in the Diet Solutions Program
How many diets do you know that tell you to cut down on carbohydrates or cut them out completely? Probably every single one you have done so far. This is one of the ways in which the Diet Solutions program is different to other conventional diets and has been applauded by many nutritionists as being a sensible and healthy diet.
Isabel de los Rios, who devised this program, tells us that not all carbohydrates are equal – there are good ones and bad ones. And you would be surprised at her definition of bad carbohydrates, which sometimes contradicts other dieting norms. According to Isabel bad carbs are pasta (no surprise there) and cereals, crackers and whole wheat bread (that’s the surprise). She states that these all increase the blood sugar level in the body so should be avoided.
However, the brain and the spine need carbohydrates to be able to function properly so what are the good carbs that you can eat? She suggests sprouted grain bread, rice, spelt, millet, sweet potato and most fruit and vegetables.
