In the first part of the how to lose weight series we talked all about calories and today we’re going to discuss carbohydrates, also commonly called carbs.  We’ll talk about the good, the bad and the ugly (sorry I couldn’t resist) parts of what carbohydrates are and what they do.  So lets get started.

Carbohydrates are one of the basic components of food called macro nutrients along with fats and proteins (alcohols are also a macro nutrient as well), sometimes you may hear people talk about “macros” in relation to a diet and these are what they’re referring to.  Carbohydrates in food are measured in grams and each gram of carbohydrates contains 4 calories.  Some amount of carbohydrates are in most every food but the types of foods that are dense in carbohydrates will be your sugary foods like candy or cookies and your starchy foods like breads and pastas.  You can easily tell the amount of carbohydrates in a food item you have by looking at the nutrition information on the label, it should list carbohydrates as well as the amount that is sugars and the amount that is fiber.
