The first few years of starting your weight loss journey can be daunting especially when it comes to carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are not bad for you and in fact they provide energy, minerals & vitamins, and fiber among other nutrients. These nutrients are essential for good health, dietary balance, and preventing deficiencies. But learning which ones are more beneficial and which ones may not assist you in the journey is not only helpful but essential in good menu planning.

Here is an easy chart to remember which ones promote long term weight loss and a healthy future and which ones go against your weight loss goals.

Remember there are healthy nutrient packed carbs listed under the first column and second there are processed, energy lacking, nutrient deficient carbs in column 2.

The choices are yours—the results will show up if you learn your ABCs.
