     A SAD STORYThe acronym representing the Standard American Diet (SAD) is quite tting, as it is

    indeed sad how typical Americans (and individuals in the vast majority of developed

    nations) eat today. According to the USDA, over 63% of the calories consumed by the

    average American come from processed foods, including added sugars, rened grains,

    and added fats and oils. (1)

    This estimate is likely on the low side, as upwards of half of the calories considered

    to be plant-based foods (e.g., fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts & seeds, true wholegrains) are processed as well. For instance, almonds in candy bars, apples in apple pie,

    spinach in frozen entrees, etc., count in this category, although these are clearly a far

    cry from whole, unprocessed options.

    Here are some more sad facts about the Standard American Diet:

    • Folks in America and other developed nations are consuming upwards of 150

    pounds of sugar  per year.(2)

    • Consumption of soda, fruit juice, and other

    sweetened beverages has increased over

    135% over the last several decades. (3, 4)

    •  As mentioned above, processed foods

    make up approximately 70% of what most

    folks eat. (5)

    •  Although estimates vary, calorie intake

    has increased upwards of 400 caloriesper day over the last several decades.

    (6) Based on the information above, it’s

    unlikely that this increase in caloric intake

    is the result of eating more vegetables,

    fruits, and lean meats; more likely, it can

    be explained by consumption of processed

  • 8/20/2019 5 Best Carbs for a Flat Belly 110KTFT

    4/264

    foods and sugar-sweetened beverages.

    • Folks have heeded the advice to substitute vegetable oils rich in polyunsaturated

    fats for animal fats, which are typically higher in saturated fats (e.g.,

    substituting margarine for butter). Unfortunately, this “cornerstone” of worldwide

    dietary guidelines has turned out to be heavily misguided, as research nowdemonstrates that substituting vegetable oils rich in omega-6 fatty acids for

    saturated fats has resulted in “increased rates of coronary heart disease,

    cardiovascular disease, and death from all causes.” (7)

    POINTINGTHE FINGER

    Perhaps some good news to come out of all of this is that dietary fat is no longer

    considered to be the “bad guy.” As a matter of fact, researchers have posited that

    dietary fat is not a determinant of body fat. (8) 

    Harvard researcher Walter Willett and his colleagues have found that, despite a

    substantial decline in the percentage of calories from fat during the last 30 years, there’s

    a been a corresponding “massive increase” in the prevalence of obesity. Further, Willett

    says, “Diets high in fat do not appear to be the primary cause of the high prevalence of

    excess body fat in our society, and reductions in fat will not be a solution.”

    Even more, saturated fat is no longer the scapegoat for increasing rates of obesity and

    chronic disease, as the tables are nally turning in the appropriate direction. Dr. Frank

    Hu, Professor of Nutrition and Epidemiology at Harvard, set out to answer the question:“Are rened carbohydrates worse than saturated fat?” (9) 

    Dr. Hu’s research led him to conclude that “rened carbohydrates are likely to cause

    even greater metabolic damage than saturated fat,” and “the time has come to shift the

    focus of the diet-heart paradigm away from restricted fat intake and toward reduced

    consumption of rened carbohydrates.”

  • 8/20/2019 5 Best Carbs for a Flat Belly 110KTFT

    5/265

     Along those lines, in a 2004 epidemiological study, researchers analyzed nearly 90 years

    worth of data, and they found, “Increasing intakes of rened carbohydrate concomitant

    with decreasing intakes of ber paralleled the upward trend in the prevalence of type 2

    diabetes observed in the United States during the 20th century.” (10)

    The #1 Worst Carb Ever (don’t eat this)

     At the link below, we’re going to let the cat out of the bag on what is undoubtedly

    the #1 WORST carb EVER, and how the money-hungry food industry is conspiring

    to sneak this nightmare carb into just about everything.

     

    In the end, this extremely common carb wreaks havoc on your fat-storinghormones in a MAJOR way, and has even been shown to hamper memory, slow

    brain activity, and increase your risk of Alzheimer’s.

    ==> The #1 Worst Carb EVER (don’t eat this)

    It’s becoming increasingly apparent that consumption of rened carbohydrates (e.g.,

    processed ours and the “foods” that are made with them like breads, breakfast cereals,bagels, noodles and pasta, baked goods, crackers, etc.; rened sugars like table sugar

    and high fructose corn syrup)

    is closely related to obesity and

    various forms of chronic illness,

    including cardiovascular disease

    and diabetes. In fact, numerous

    studies have linked consumption

    of these high-glycemiccarbohydrates to obesity. (11, 12)

    CRITICAL

    VARIABLESWith all that in mind, it’s easy to see how there’s a shift in thought process to suggest

    that all carbohydrates are “bad” and that a low-carb diet is the only way to achieve your

    health, body composition, and performance goals. While low-carb diets may be effective

    for some folks and/or for certain periods of time, the research does not support that

    long-term low-carb dieting is more effective than other diets.

    In fact, in a paper titled “A Call for an End to the Diet Debates,” scientists scoured

    the research analyzing numerous randomized trials comparing various diets (e.g.,

    low-carbohydrate, low-fat, Mediterranean). (13) They found that differences in weight

    loss and metabolic risk factors are small (i.e., a difference of less than 2 pounds) and

    inconsistent. What did the researchers nd to be most important? Adherence.

    Specically, the authors stated, “The only consistent nding among the trials is that

    adherence—the degree to which participants continued in the program or met programgoals for diet and physical activity—was most strongly associated with weight loss and

    improvement in disease-related outcomes.”

    The fact of the matter is that it’s not fair to lump all carbohydrate-dense foods into a

    single category. In addition to being packed with heavily-rened carbohydrates that

    rapidly spike blood sugar and insulin, processed foods have been stripped of benecial

    micronutrients (e.g., vitamins and minerals), phytonutrients, and ber.

    Simply put, ber is a nutrition all-star, as it promotes satiety, a healthy digestive

    tract, regularity, cardiovascular health, and many other health and body composition

    outcomes. In fact, researchers have linked low ber intakes to increased risk for

    diabetes and obesity. (14, 15) What’s more, scientists continuously demonstrate that diets

    higher in ber help with weight loss and weight management. (16)

    Do you POOP enough?

    Please excuse the somewhat personal nature of this excerpt, but the information

    we are about to share below is extremely important for both you and your digestive

    health.

    You may not think that you’re constipated, but in reality, it is VERY likely that you

     ARE.

    You see, constipation is not simply “not being able to go”, or only eliminating once

    a week...that’s severe constipation. The truth is, a healthy digestive system should

    be eliminating after every meal.

     Are you moving your bowels several times a day, once for every meal you eat? If

    not, you are suffering from constipation, which will cause a build up of toxins and

    undigested, rotten, putrid food in your digestive system.

    This can make it much harder for you to lose fat while also wreaking havoc on your

    digestive system and overall health...really bad stuff. Just imagine all that rotted,

    disgusting food sitting there in your digestive system...yuck!

    Fortunately, this can be corrected rather quickly, with a few simple steps:

    ==> 4 tips for healthy digestion and regular bowel movements

    Generally speaking, most people will do best with some carbs, with appropriate

    adjustments made for activity level and body type. A small percentage of the population

    will do well with a lot of carbs. Likewise, an equally small percentage will thrive with very

    few carbs. If the image of a bell curve and standard deviations are coming to mind, then

    you’re on the right track.

    Overall, carbohydrate intake should be proportionate to one’s activity levels, whereas

    protein and fat intake may remain pretty constant relative to one’s body weight or lean

    body mass. At higher activity levels, more carbohydrates may be necessary, particularly

    for those individuals who have an ectomorphic frame. For sedentary folks, especially

    those who are trying to lose fat and/or have more endomorphic body types, fewer

    carbohydrates may be needed.

    While there are plenty of “bad” options out there, as processed carbohydrates are

    seemingly ubiquitous, it should be increasingly clear that not all carbohydrates are

    created equally. You don’t have to completely eliminate carbs from your diet to achieve

    your health, body composition, and performance goals, especially when you choose the

    best sources. With that in mind, here are ve of our top carbs for a at belly, which will

    leave you full and satised while supporting your body transformation goals.

    Berries and CherriesBerries like blackberries, blueberries,

    raspberries, and strawberries are nutrient-

    dense, and they are high in both water and

    ber, which can help keep you full. What’s

    more, they’re naturally sweet, which will help

    satisfy your sweet tooth, and they are low

    glycemic, which will help you manage your

    blood sugar and insulin levels.

    The health benets of berries, with their dark pigments indicative of their rich polyphenol

    content, have been demonstrated in various nutrition studies. Research suggests that

    these nutritional powerhouses may have cardioprotective effects as well as benets

    ranging from aging to metabolic syndrome.

    Researchers from Texas Women’s University recently demonstrated that the

    polyphenols in blueberries may play a signicant role in ghting obesity. Specically, theresearchers found that these compounds inhibited the formation of fat cells. (17)

    What’s more, researchers from New Zealand found that consumption of blueberries

    may also accelerate muscle recovery when combined with intense exercise. Specically,

    subjects who consumed a blueberry smoothie before and after exercise experienced

    reduced muscle soreness and accelerated recovery of strength, which all adds up to

  • 8/20/2019 5 Best Carbs for a Flat Belly 110KTFT

    9/269

    more frequent and more intense training sessions and improved performance. (18)

     Anthocyanins, the colorful antioxidant pigments that give berries their red, blue, and

    purple hues, are well-known for their wide-ranging health effects, including their abilities

    to help manage blood sugar and improve insulin signaling. Specically, cyanidin3-glucoside (C3G), which is a member of the anthocyanin family, has been shown to

    attenuate insulin resistance and ameliorate high blood sugar, both of which have major

    implications for combatting obesity and enhancing fat loss. (19, 20)

    What’s more, anthocyanins have been shown to have a unique effect on fat cells

    (i.e., adipocytes), which has led authors to state that they may play an intricate role in

    the prevention of metabolic syndrome. As a matter of fact, researchers investigating

    the effects of anthocyanins on adipocyte function concluded, “Anthocyanins have asignicant potency of antiobesity and ameliorate adipocyte function” and they also have

    “important implications for preventing metabolic syndrome.” (21)

    From a fat loss and weight management standpoint, that sounds berry  good to us!

    Eat this TWICE daily for accelerated fat loss

     At the link below, we’re going to show you the #1 fat-burning meal of ALL-TIME,

    and how by eating this simple meal twice daily, you can shed fat faster AND easier

    than ever before.

    Even better, you can prepare this simple fat-melting meal in less than 60 seconds.

    No, it’s not too good to be true.

    Mixed Beans

    Beans are an excellent plant-based source

    of protein, and depending on the type, they

    provide upwards of 12 grams of ber per

    1-cup serving. Dietary ber and protein aretwo nutrients that researchers have found

    to be positively associated with satiety, or

    feelings of fullness. (22)

    Not surprisingly, researchers found that, when human subjects supplemented their

    regular diet with garbanzo beans daily, they reported signicant improvements in

    satiety, appetite, meal satisfaction, and bowel function. Participants were also found

    to decrease consumption of snack foods and overall calorie intake.(23)

     Additionally,researchers from Purdue University found that subjects who added beans to a reduced-

    calorie diet lost over three times as much weight as the control group, which consumed

    the same number of calories, over the course of 6 weeks. (24)

    What’s more, an increase in the hormone cholecystokinin (CCK), secreted in the gut

    in response to protein and fat intake that helps to slow gastric emptying and increase

    satiety, has been reported following bean consumption. (25) Thus, in addition to their high

    protein and ber content, beans may positively inuence appetite by stimulating satietycenters in the brain.

    Legumes, including certain beans and lentils, are also a good source of resistant starch,

    which is a special type of carbohydrate that is not digested by the human body. (26) 

    Resistant starch is not technically classied as a ber, although many researchers now

    believe that it should be.

    Multiple studies have shown that naturally-occurring resistant starch intake increasessatiety and reduces food intake both acutely and in the long-term. (27, 28) Research

    has also shown that consumption of resistant starch increases fat oxidation (i.e., fat

    burning). (29) Resistant starch has also been shown to decrease fat storage in adipocytes

    (i.e., fat cells) and improve insulin sensitivity. (30)

    Furthermore, researchers speculate that resistant starch may also increase the thermic

  • 8/20/2019 5 Best Carbs for a Flat Belly 110KTFT

    11/2611

    effect of feeding, which means that it boosts the metabolism, as well as promote weight

    loss and preserve fat free mass. (31)

    If the weight management benets aren’t enough, regular consumption of beans

    appears to also possess signicant cardioprotective benets. Specically, researchersfound that eating just one serving daily of pulses, which include beans, lentils, and peas,

    can signicantly reduce “bad” (i.e., LDL) cholesterol and the risk of heart disease. (32)

    Scientists from throughout Canada and the US reviewed 26 randomized controlled

    trials that included 1037 people. Despite variation between studies, the researchers

    found a 5% reduction in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in people who ate one

    serving (i.e., ¾ cup) of pulses per day. Men had greater reduction in LDL cholesterol

    than women, perhaps because their diets are poorer, cholesterol levels are higher, andbenet more markedly from a healthier diet.

    ==> 30 second daily trick FLATTENS your belly

    Overall, the research is quite clear that adding 3 – 5 cups (per week) of beans to your

    diet may have some signicant benecial effects on your body composition as well as

    your cardiovascular health. There are many options from which to choose, including

    black beans, dried peas, garbanzo beans, kidney beans, lentils, lima beans, navy

    beans, pinto beans, and more.

    Quinoa

    While this “ancient grain” has the taste, texture, and

    mouth feel of a grain, quinoa is a gluten-free seed, which

    contains double the protein of brown rice along with

    greater ber content and a lower glycemic load.

    Not only that, quinoa is the ONLY grain-like food to

    contain the full spectrum of amino acids, making it a

    “complete” protein. Quinoa has a unique, nutty taste

    and chewy texture. It is also high in several antioxidants

    in the vitamin E family, and it is a good source of the

    essential nutrients manganese, phosphorus, copper,

    magnesium, folate, and zinc.

     A single ¾ cup serving of quinoa packs over 8 grams of complete protein and 5 grams

    of ber. This Andean “super food” is such a nutrient-rich superstar, in fact, that the Food

    and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) ofcially declared that the

    year 2013 be recognized as “The International Year of Quinoa.” (33)

    In addition to being a good source of essential nutrients, quinoa is also rich in a class

    of phytonutrients called saponins. In a recent study that appeared in the Journal ofFood Science, researchers investigated the anti-inammatory potential of saponins

    derived from quinoa, and the scientists found that the saponins suppressed both the

    production and release of inammatory chemicals called cytokines. As a matter of fact,

    the researchers were so impressed that they concluded, “Quinoa saponins may be used

    as functional food components for prevention and treatment of inammation.” (34)

    Quinoa is also plentiful in antioxidants, including quercetin and kaempferol. In fact, the

    concentration of these two avonoids in quinoa can sometimes be greater than theirconcentration of high-avonoid berries like cranberries.

    Quercetin is a particularly interesting antioxidant as it not only scavenges free radicals

    but may also help regulate blood sugar. In fact, quercetin has been shown to inhibit

    enzymes like alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase, which are responsible for breaking

    down carbohydrates into absorbable sugars. In essence, quercetin is a natural “carb

  • 8/20/2019 5 Best Carbs for a Flat Belly 110KTFT

    13/2613

    blocker,” and it has been shown to effectively suppress blood sugar after a meal. (35)

    Never eat this type of sh (EVER)

    While we’ve been led to believe that sh is one of the healthiest food choices

    around, what you probably didn’t know is that there are 4 specic types of sh -- all

    very common -- that you should literally NEVER eat due to incredibly high levels of

    contamination that can and WILL hammer the delicate cells of your body with toxic

    inammation...

    In the end, this toxic inammation build up contributes to achy joints, premature

    aging of the skin (and less visible organs like the heart, kidneys, and liver),difculty shedding excess weight, cognitive decline, forgetfulness, feeling blue and

    moody, and so much more...

    Whatever you do, AVOID these 4 types of sh like the plague:

    ==> NEVER eat this type of sh (EVER)

    Watch out!

     Although quinoa is just recently gaining mainstream attention, its notoriety is not new,

    as its nutritional value was recognized as far back as the 1950s. In a 1955 article titled

    “Edible Seed Products of the Andes Mountains,” researchers including Dr. Philip White

    made the following pronouncement about quinoa: “While no single food can supply all

    the essential life-sustaining nutrients, quinoa comes as close as any other in the plant or

    animal kingdom.” (36)

    Quinoa comes in several varieties, including “oatmeal-like” akes and it’s whole grain

    rice-like form. Enjoy it as an oatmeal substitute for breakfast, in salads or casseroles, or

    as a wholesome whole-grain, high-protein side item to any lunch or dinner meal.

    Sprouted Grain Bread

    Many people know that processed ours and the foods made from them (e.g., bread,

    bagels, tortillas, noodles and pastas, baked goods, etc.) are not the best options for

    optimal health and body composition. These high glycemic, fast-digesting, processed

    carbohydrates result in elevations in blood sugar and insulin concentrations, bloodtriglyceride levels, and LDL (i.e., “bad”) cholesterol.

    Furthermore, high glycemic, rened carbohydrates, like those found in these foods,

    are typically void of ber, and researchers have linked low ber intakes to increased

    risk for diabetes and obesity. (37, 38, 39, 40) What’s more, it’s no secret that high glycemic

    carbohydrates like these are some of the most fattening ingredients around and closely

    linked to obesity. (41)

    While most understand that this is true for “white” foods, the average whole wheat bread

    has a similar glycemic index as white bread. Thus, opting for “whole wheat” versions of

    these foods are still a far cry from the whole, intact grains themselves, and they appear

    to be a marginal improvement at best.

    Sprouted grains, on the other hand, are distinctly different from their traditionally

    harvested counterparts, and they have many favorable advantages over conventional

    grains like wheat. What’s more, sprouted grain breads are completely our-free.

    Do THIS before eating carbs (every time)

     At the link below, we’re going to show you our #1 carb-ghting trick that you

    can use each and every time you eat carbs. This simple carb-ghting “ritual” is

    clinically proven to:

     

    *Lower your blood sugar 

    *Increase insulin sensitivity

    *Decrease fat storage

    *Increase fat burning

     

    Even better, you can perform it in just a few seconds...and it WORKS like

    gangbusters.

    ==> Do THIS before eating carbs (every time)

    That’s right, you’ll actually be consuming the whole grain. Sprouted grain breads—like

    those from the folks at Food for Life®—are truly made with whole grains, unlike the vast

    majority of store-bought breads, which are made from wheat our. The pulverization of

    a grain into our essentially creates a heavily processed carbohydrate, which rapidly

    enters the blood stream. As mentioned above, fast-digesting carbohydrates result in

    rapid elevations in blood sugar and insulin levels, which is not an ideal combination for

    folks looking to lose body fat.

     According to the Food for Life® website (42), here are some of the benets of sprouted

    grains:

    • Increased digestibility. This should not be confused with increased blood sugar

    or glycemic response, as it simply means that sprouting makes the digestion

    process easier on your body resulting in less inammation, gas, bloating, etc.

    • Increased absorption of minerals. Sprouting grains increases the activity of

    phytase in plants. This is important because phytase is a naturally-occurring

    enzyme in plants that breaks down phytic acid, which is known as an “anti-

    http://fixyourbloodsugar.com/?SID=5BC_rpthttp://fixyourbloodsugar.com/?SID=5BC_rpt

  • 8/20/2019 5 Best Carbs for a Flat Belly 110KTFT

    16/2616

    nutrient” because of its ability to inhibit the absorption of key minerals (e.g., iron,

    calcium, magnesium, copper, and zinc) in humans. Conventional whole wheat,

    on the other hand, is rife with phytic acid, which can bind these minerals and

    prevent you from absorbing them. (43)

    • Increased antioxidants.• Increased vitamin C.

    • Increased B vitamins (e.g., B2, B5, and B6).

    • Great source of ber. Because these sprouted grains are not ground down into

    a ne our, the whole grain remains intact, including the brous bran component.

     A single slice of sprouted grain bread contains 50% and 200% more ber than its

    whole wheat and white counterparts, respectively.

    • Source of complete protein. Generally speaking, grains are not a complete source

    of protein. However, sprouted grains overcome this limitation, as they provide the fullspectrum of essential amino acids that your body needs, and the proteins are rated

    nearly as efcient as those from animal sources like milk and eggs.

    Of course, any conversation involving wheat-based products ultimately leads to the

    discussion of gluten, a protein inherent to wheat that may cause sensitivities, digestive

    discomfort, fatigue, depression, headaches, eczema, and you guessed it, difculty with

    weight management. (44)

     Along these lines, sprouted grain breads use a variety of gluten-free grains, and as a

    result, including signicantly fewer gluten-containing grains (e.g., sprouted wheat and

    barley). What’s more, the sprouting process, which is similar to fermentation, has been

    found to substantially reduce gluten proteins. (45) While perhaps not completely gluten-

    free, sprouted grain breads are signicantly lower in their gluten content.

    Thus, you don’t give up the bread to achieve your body transformation goals, just

    choose the right kind. Food for Life® has an entire line of food products—includingbreads, cereals, wraps, and more—that have been certied as Low Glycemic by The

    Glycemic Research Institute.

    2 minute “cleanse” kills toxicparasites LIVING in your belly 

    Due to exposure to an array of common foods, beverages, and over-the-counter

    medicines, 9 out of 10 people’s guts have been infested with toxic, parasitic

    bacteria that is DESTROYING their health and making it virtually impossible for

    them to drop fat from their biggest problem areas...and that very likely means you.

    Fortunately, there’s a quick 2 minute “cleanse” that you can perform today, almost

    without thinking, to correct this dangerous imbalance. Just follow the simple steps

    given at this link:

    ==> 2 minute “cleanse” kills toxic parasites LIVING in your belly

    In addition to sprouted grains, other minimally-processed, intact whole grains are also

    good carbohydrate choices, including whole or steel-cut oats; wild, brown, or red rice;

    amaranth; buckwheat groats; kamut or spelt grains; maize; millet; and barley.

    Vegetables

    Yes, your mother and grandmother were always right, and it should be no surprise to

    see vegetables make the list of the best carbohydrate foods. Packed with vitamins,

    minerals, phytonutrients, and ber, it’s no secret that a diet plentiful in vegetables

    confers many health benets. According the United States Department of Agriculture (46),

    eating a diet rich in vegetables may:

    • Reduce the risk of heart disease, including heart attack and stroke;

    • Protect against certain types of cancers;

    • Reduce the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes;

    • Lower blood pressure; and

    • Help decrease bone loss.

    While consuming a diet high in vegetables is associated with lower risks for numerous

    chronic diseases, the impact of eating vegetables on weight management has not been

    as widely researched. However, recent studies indicate that higher consumptions of

    vegetables during weight loss efforts are correlated to more weight and fat lost. (47)

    What’s more, scientists have found that reduced-calorie diets including ve servings

    of vegetables per day can lead to sustained weight loss, with associated reductions incardiovascular disease risk factors. Further, consuming a higher proportion of calories

    as vegetables may support greater weight loss. (48)

     According to the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion

    Division of Nutrition and Physical Activity (49), there are multiple reasons why a diet

    higher in vegetables may help folks control energy balance and support healthy body

    weight management:

    • To lose weight, a person must eat fewer calories than what s/he burns (i.e.,

    negative energy balance).

    • People may not limit what they consume based on calories alone. Satiety (i.e.,

    feeling full) is a major reason that people stop eating. Rather than the calorie

    content of food, short-term studies indicate that the volume of food people eat at

    a meal is what makes them feel full and stop eating.

    •  At the same calorie level, foods with low energy density provide a greater volume

    of food, which may help people feel full at a meal while consuming fewer calories.• Water and ber increase the volume of foods and reduce energy density. In their

    natural state, vegetables have high water and ber content and thus are low in

    calories and energy density.

    • Vegetables are good substitutes for foods of high energy density.

    Unfortunately, the vast majority of Americans don’t consume enough vegetables. In fact,

    only 1 in 4 adults eats the recommended amount of vegetables each day.

    ==> Do THIS twice daily to burn BELLY FLAB (takes less than 1 min)

    More and more research has demonstrated that in addition to the micronutrients (e.g.,

    vitamins and minerals) packed into vegetables, there are also important phytochemicals

    (i.e., plant chemicals) that are essential for optimal physiological functioning.

    Each of the various “color” groups of vegetables offers unique phytonutrients (50):

    • Greens: isothiocyanate, lutein, zeaxanthin, isoavones, avonoids, coumestans

    • Reds: lycopene, ellagic acid, caffeoylquinic acids, hydroxybenzoic acids

    • Oranges: alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, hesperetin, beta-cryptoxanthin,

    avonols, terpenoids, phtalides

    • Whites: avonols, allicin, quercetin, suldes

    • Purples: anthocyanins, resveratrol, hydroxycinnamic acids

    With that said, it’s best to consume a variety of vegetables, as deciencies in any color

    group can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and more. To

    optimize health and body composition, it’s recommended to eat at least one cup of each

    WRAPPING IT UP As you should be able to see by now, carbohydrates are not created equally, and

    you need not necessarily eliminate all carbohydrates to achieve your health and

    body composition goals. The best carbohydrates for a at belly are those that are

    unprocessed and slow digesting. These sources of carbohydrates are highest in

    micronutrients and ber, enhance satiety, help manage blood sugar and insulin levels,

    improve health markers, increase energy levels, and optimize body composition.

    Even so, it’s a good idea to add protein to meals containing these carbohydrates.

    Protein boosts the metabolism and increases satiety. What’s more, consuming protein

    with carbohydrates slows gastric emptying, which in turn reduces the speed at which

    sugar is released into the bloodstream. Not only that, protein consumption causes the

    release of the hormone glucagon, a fat-ghting hormone well known for its ability to

    counteract the effects of insulin.
