Cut Out Thoughts of Cutting Carbs
With a vast amount of misinformation about carbohydrates on the internet, you may believe that cutting out bread and pasta from your diet is a smart choice. However, as Cosmopolitan.com just reported in a new article, cutting out 
carbs can actually be detrimental to your health.
Nutritionists recommend that 45% – 65% of your diet should consist of carbohydrates. Whether it be rice, bread, or our personal favorite, pasta, carbs provide vital nutrients for the body to function and to sustain energy. Without carbs, your body will start to rebel against you.
Because carbs provide energy, cutting them out of your diet will cause you to feel exhausted. Blood sugar levels will drop, making you to want to fall asleep all throughout the day. Additionally, with low blood sugar levels, you have less control over impulses to eat, so you may end up binge eating unhealthy foods that contain fast, easy sugars.
Without carbohydrates, the body will also produce ketones, which are molecules that arise when you deprive yourself of glucose. These ketones can do some nasty stuff, like cause bad breath, dry mouth, and an acidic blood system which can even lead to kidney stones or contribute to bone loss down the line.
Nausea and dizziness are also common side effects of having a low carb diet. Without key minerals like potassium and magnesium, the body cannot properly perform and could have you feeling uneasy.
Carbs are a healthy and essential part of every diet, and they can be pretty tasty too! By consuming carbs like pasta, you can ensure your body is performing properly all while eating a delicious meal. Visit our nutrition page for more information on pasta and the diet.
