Its just too easy…some people just make it hard


Carbohydrates are a very important part of a healthy diet to 1) provide the brain with sufficient glucose to function and 2) to provide energy for muscular work. It’s the type of carbohydrates we’re consuming that we need to pay attention to.
The list of “allowed” carbohydrates in the slow carb regime is pretty straight-forward:  You eat 1) legumes or 2) veggies.

Slow Carb List

Again, it’s a pretty simple approach – each meal includes a lean protein, a source of “good” fat, and a carbohydrate type from either one (or both) of these categories:
  • Legumes (such as black beans, lima beans, kidney beans, or white beans) etc
  • Veggies (like broccoli, eggplant, spinach, or squash) etc
that simple!!
