7. Limit your refined carb sources
Your weight loss efforts will be in vain if you don’t watch your refined carb intake. According to Allie Lansman, RDN, LD, registered dietitian and founder of The Freelance RD, refined carbs are basically grains that have had almost all of their fiber, minerals, and vitamins stripped from them during processing.
In other words, everything that’s good in them is gone as soon as the processing is completed. So, foods such as white bread, cookies, white rice, crackers, and white pasta have literally no nutritional value. Things get even worse when you find out that refined carb sources can easily destroy your weight-loss efforts.
Pro tip: You should replace all your refined grain sources with whole grain products. Can you do that for your body and overall health?
