Eat BETTER carbs, not FEWER carbs!

What's a "Smart Carb Choice"?

"Smart carbohydrates" are carbs that are:

• higher in fiber (so they digest relatively slowly, giving you long-lasting slow-burn energy)
• full of vitamins, minerals and other phytonutrients;
• friendly to your blood sugar, hormones, and digestion;
• versatile and easily cooked;
• whole, relatively minimally processed foods

Smart carbs add value to your body and make you healthier

Thus, making smart carb choices means:

• Choose high-quality, health-promoting foods.

Remember: Quality First

The Smart Carb List

 Smart carbs include:

• fruit (fresh or frozen)
• starchy tubers such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, artichokes, etc.
• other starchy fruits and veggies, such as plantains or sweet winter squashes (e.g. Hubbard, butternut, buttercup, kabocha)
• whole, minimally-processed grains (such as quinoa, brown or wild rice, slow-cooking oats, buckwheat, sprouted grains, etc.)
• beans and legumes

Try these slow-digesting, high-fiber, nutrient-rich smart carbs and you'll look and feel, better.

When and How to Eat Smart Carbs

At every meal eat about 1 cupped handful of slow-digesting, high-fiber, nutrient-rich smart carbs.

Start with this and see how you feel.
