Learn to BALANCE carbs instead of cutting them out

Here’s the secret to eating carbs. Choose ones with FIBER! “Nature’s carbs” have fiber intact- sweet potatoes, beans, buckwheat, quinoa, wild rice, squash. The fiber in “nature’s carbs” helps to prevent a spike of glucose and slow the release of insulin.

When it comes to a processed carb, like bread or pasta, the ratio of carb-to-fiber is important. For every 10 grams of carbs, aim for at least 1 gram of fiber (this is a 10:1 ratio). A 5:1 ratio of carbs to fiber is even better.

Bread example:

Silver Hills Little Big Sprouted Grain Bread- has a 4:1 carb:fiber ratio. This is excellent!

Ezekiel sprouted grain bread is also good as it has a 5:1 carb-to-fiber ratio.
