Balancing Carbs & Protein

The word "carb" has often been a taboo subject the past few years in the dieting world, we often see advertisements promoting low or no carb meals, promoting the belief that they are unhealthy and can have a negative affect on weight loss. This is simply not the case!

Carbohydrates are a key component of all of our diets as they are our main source of energy. However there are certain carbs that are healthier than others that we should be eating. It is also important to be aware of how to balance these against proteins. Many of us can be confused on how to portion control, knowing how much vegetables, carbs and protein should be on our plates at each meal. This week we will be looking at what types of carbs and proteins we should be eating and how much in order to live a balanced and healthy lifestyle.
