You want to get in better shape? Cut those carbs!

We've all heard about low carb diets or no carb diets. While I'm not a fan of no carb diets, lower carb diet aren't bad at all. In fact they are much healthier for you.

For years and years we've all heard about how if you eat low fat you'll be in better shape. But that's not the whole story. A bigger problem for people is carbs, the type of carbs you eat and when you eat them.

The reason is that not all carbs are the same. The carb you get from a piece of white bread is completely different than the one you get from multi grain. That's because the mutli grain carb takes longer to break down in your body. You don't get the sugar rush with multi grain and therefore you won't gain fat from eating it.

When in doubt the browner the carb the better it is for you. So sweet potato is better than white, brown bread better than white etc.

The other thing to remember is that starchy carbs later in the day, past 3pm, really aren't good for you either. That's because your body uses carbs for energy, and later in the day, or evening you're not moving as much. So you can't burn off those carbs and they turn to fat.

So cut those starchy carbs out at 3pm each day, and you'll see a huge difference in your body.
