DRHey what types of carbs should I eat? A question I get often. Carbs aren’t inherently fattening beyond their calorie content, BUT some sources are more satiating and filling than others. Here are some of the standard filling sources I recommend to patients. Notice I didn’t include non-starchy vegetables as they tend to account for a very small amount of carbs and energy in general (but are very good to eat too).
Things like rice and pastas (non-chickpea or lentil pasta) are fine to eat as well. They just may not be as filling as these sources. You also don’t have to eat any of these to lose weight by the way. Weight loss comes down to energy balance. You don’t even have to eat carbs if you don’t want. But if you do and you want some filling options, start with these. Hope that makes sense!! ❤️❤️❤️ #docswholift #carbs
