It is 100% true that carbohydrates are essential for our body, but if you are overweight than you should alter the ratio of high glycemic (simple carbs) to low glycemic (complex carbs).
The most important factor is that, you should reduce your sugar intake. If you maintain your ratio of complex carb to simple carbs, it will permit the body to regularize sugar levels. This will result in burning of fat and ultimately you will reduce your weight.
2. EAT SMALLER, MORE FREQUENT MEALS.
Eat five to six times a day. It will regulate your blood sugar level. Smaller and frequent eating habit will maintain your insulin balance and will
nake you less hungry throughout the day and less tempted to snack on junk food.
3. CONSUME MORE FUNCTIONAL FATS.
Always prefer essential fatty acids, such as omega-3 and omega-6. Take both of these in the ratio of 1:1, which will allow you to calm down inflammation, regulate blood sugar level and balance your hormone level.
In time it will result in greater fat loss. Hence it is recommended to add flax oil and fish in your daily diet.
Do a Google search for flax oil. You may be suprised to see how important it is in your diet. Flax oil can be purchased in the natural health section of your local grocery store.
