The backbone of my healthy diet is moderation. As a personal trainer, I
know I have to fuel my body the right way to keep it active and healthy. I
live by the rule of cut back, not cut out. Pay attention and eat clean, but
enjoy life. You must have a balance in how you maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Carbohydrates are a major part of how you stay healthy and energized
throughout the day and if you’ve been avoiding them, it’s time to stop.
My carb philosophy balances on one fact: There is a difference between
starchy and non-starchy carbohydrates. All have a role in your diet and
should be consumed, but when you consume them (and how much) is
crucial to staying healthy and getting to your desired weight. Here’s what
you need to know:
1. Starchy carbs provide quick energy to your body and should be
eaten early in the day.
These carbs will ensure that you’re ready to rock your busy schedule. The
amount of carbs are high, especially compared to the fiber content and
that’s why they’re considered starchy. Here are a few healthy, starchy carbs:
Whole-wheat pasta
Old-fashioned oatmeal
Sweet potatoes
Whole-wheat bread (Ezekiel bread is great)
Brown rice
Quinoa
Corn
Peas

2. Non-starchy carbs are best for late afternoon and early evening
meals or snacks.
Non-starchy carbs are higher in fiber, especially compared to how many
carbs they contain. As your day winds down, the amount of
carbohydrates you take in should also decrease — especially the starchy
variety listed above. You don’t need all that energy in your body since
you’re about to go to sleep. However, the healthy, non-starchy carbs will
help you feel full and complete your balanced meal. Here are a few
healthy, non-starchy carbs:
Broccoli
Brussels sprouts
Mixed greens (kale, spinach, arugula, romaine)
Green beans
Almonds
Cauliflower
Beets
Vegetables (no peas and corn)
Cutting back on starches in the evening will make a HUGE change in your
body.
What I’ve outlined is a plan you can stick with because you’re not forced to
give up carbohydrates. Consistency is key and portion control during the
day is mandatory. Having six servings of pasta at lunch is not okay.
Remember, food that isn’t used for energy or nutrients will be stored as
fat! Enjoy everything in moderation and always follow these rules when
consuming carbs.
