Have Your Carbs and Eat Them Too

It's time to get over the idea that all carbs are bad. Even the media are starting to forget that the no-carb craze existed, and you should, too. Good carbs do exist, and they should be a part of your diet.
"But Jillian," you ask, "how can that be when so many other diets have banished carbs?" Here's why: My program evaluates carbs differently from the way the Atkins and South Beach programs do. These diets define carbs as "good" or "bad" according to the glycemic index, a rating based on how quickly a carbohydrate breaks down and releases glucose into your blood. The problem is, these diets evaluate only the quality, not the quantity, of carbs in any given food. So you're not getting the whole story. As a result, these diets forbid you to eat many foods that actually belong in a healthy diet.
The poor innocent carrot is a perfect example of how the glycemic index can give a good food a bad name. The carbohydrates in a carrot turn into blood sugar quickly, which gives the carrot a high glycemic rating, making it a no-no on many popular diets. If you step back and look at the big picture, though, the total number of carbs in a carrot is low. Even though those carbs are turning into blood sugar quickly, there are so few that their overall effect on blood sugar is not very dramatic, so in fact they're okay to eat.

The importance of Whey protein

I was having a hard time losing weight, I weighed about 155 at 5'6" and I thought I was doing the right thing by eating Total raisin bran for breakfast, taking my vitamins, eating grilled chicken sandwich on whole grain bread and eating celery and peanut butter for lunch and having steamed vegetables, apples and other fruits, vegetables and not eating after 7pm. I was exercising moderately with these exercises which are easy and fun and keep you limber and young go http://realage.com/StayingYoung/YOUToolsTips.aspx?tip=22 , to see the exercises. I also have to keep up after my toddler so that is some exercise. Well anyway, to get to the point, I was not losing weight and I was not even eating that much so I became frustrated. Recently, I found out something that changed all that and that was that I needed to have more protein and that whey or soy isolate is the best because it is low in carbs and sugar and has the essential amino acid chains, also that I was supposed to have about the amount of grams of protein as my body weight at first to get the weight off. Here is another article to explain the reason for this, http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/09/0609052225848.htm and I was also supposed to eat all the foods low on the glycemic index, which means low in sugar and carbs pretty much, here is that information http://www.herbalvitality.info/aw/glycemic_index.htm
Ever since, I have been losing weight and seeing more definition in my muscles, not bulkier, just defined. I feel better too:) and you are allowed to have chocolate but the darker the better.

MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL HEALTH

It is important not to let our anger get the best of us and not to harbor resentments, there are many places to seek help if we feel sad, depressed, unstable, anxious or if we have an addiction that has hold on us. It is not to late to start over and learn to live happier and healthier. I held resentments for a long time and finally I realized that was keeping me sick both mentally and physically. I know today that there is another way.
