Foods like bread, grains, potatoes, corn, pasta, beer, juice, and chips are high in carbohydrates. This list is a very short condensed version of what people are consuming at high rates daily.
When carbs are not broken down successfully, they go undigested in your stomach or colon. This can lead to fermentation by the gut bacteria and can cause the stomach to bloat.
When your body is not digesting carbs the right way, insulin resistance can occur which can increase blood sugar levels over time. This can cause you to feel fatigued or crave even more unhealthy foods because of a spike in blood sugar. This is counterproductive for anyone who wants to get more active to begin losing a significant amount of weight.
Losing as little as 10 pounds can make a significant difference in the pressure on your knees.
