Traditionally we were
taught that carbohydrates should provide our body with its primary supply of
energy. However, many people have confused fast releasing carbohydrates (pasta,
cakes) and slow releasing carbohydrates (whole grains, vegetables) eating too
many of the former-the tempting, convenient, tasty variety! Most of us lead
sedentary lives, so any excess energy from carbohydrate-rich food) is stored
as fat
We need protein in our diet to stay strong and healthy.
If we don't eat
enough our bodies will steal it from our muscles and organs.
In fact,
protein is essential for the development of our muscles,
which lead to
an increase in the burning of calories. Our
muscles could be described
as fat furnaces
as they keep
our metabolism running high.
If you tried to get all the protein you need from foods such
as meats, you would consume too many calories, because
these protein rich foods come with extra fat calories.
