Are carbohydrates bad?

So....ARE carbohydrates bad? 

Absolutely NOT!!!

The Atkins, South Beach and other low carb diets have led many people to believe carbohydrates are bad, cause us to gain flab and essentially are the single cause of obesity.

Don't fall for it people!!!!

Carbohydrates are an important part of a healthy diet!!

The key is to choose the RIGHT KIND of carbs.  Some suggestions of good carbohydrates are....whole grains (be sure the 1st ingredient listed is "whole grain"), brown rice, bulgur, quinoa, whole fresh fruits and beans. 

Remember, carbohydrates provide our bodies with the necessary fuel for physical activity and proper organ function.
