Good Carbs, Bad Carbs — How to Make the Right Choices

People have been stock piling pasta, obviously because it's a dry form of carbs they can store, but are now are panicking that it's running out. But please look at other sources to stay healthy and get a balance, and remember there are GOOD and BAD CARBS. Some of the below are long life too, like nuts, seeds, legumes, and you can cook batches of foods and use your freezer. There are plenty of healthy and simple bread, bake and soup recipes online! People are also stocking a lot of bad, sugary carbs which will cause inflammation and compromise your immune system. Here's a run down from Healthline of good and bad carbs:

Good Carbs:
Vegetables: All of them. It is best to eat a variety of vegetables every day.
Whole fruits: Apples, bananas, strawberries, etc.
Legumes: Lentils, kidney beans, peas, etc.
Nuts: Almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, peanuts, etc.
Seeds: Chia seeds, pumpkin seeds.
Whole grains: Choose grains that are truly whole, as in pure oats, quinoa, brown rice, etc.
Tubers: Potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc.
People who are trying to restrict carbohydrates need to be careful with the whole grains, legumes, tubers and high-sugar fruit.

Bad Carbs:
Sugary drinks: Coca cola, Pepsi, Vitaminwater, etc. Sugary drinks are some of the unhealthiest things you can put into your body.
Fruit juices: Unfortunately, fruit juices may have similar metabolic effects as sugar-sweetened beverages.
White bread: These are refined carbohydrates that are low in essential nutrients and bad for metabolic health. This applies to most commercially available breads.
Pastries, cookies and cakes: These tend to be very high in sugar and refined wheat.
Ice cream: Most types of ice cream are very high in sugar, although there are exceptions.
Candies and chocolates: If you’re going to eat chocolate, choose quality dark chocolate.
French fries and potato chips: Whole potatoes are healthy, but french fries and potato chips are not.

Stay healthy 🙏🙂

healthline.com Not all carbs are created equal. Carbs from whole, fiber-rich foods are generally healthy, while added sugars and refined carbs are extremely unhealthy.

The Nut Bar

In case you've noticed I've not been very active on this page lately, you may not know that I've recently opened a zero-waste dry whole foods stall in Bilston Market, near Wolverhampton. I'm now sharing recipes on the new page for that business, so if you would still like some healthy inspiration please come on over! 😅

Zero-waste dried whole foods stall in Bilston Indoor Retail Market (stall 49) nr Wolverhampton. Very reasonably priced. Pick & Mix selection on nuts and dried fruits. Mon, Thur, Fri & Sat 9-4pm

The Nut Bar

I’m so proud and happy to be opening The Nut Bar, which I believe will be Wolverhampton’s first zero-waste whole food store, based in Bilston Indoor Retail Market!

Opening on July 11th 2019, coinciding with International Raw Food Day, The Nut Bar forms part of a big passion of mine to share the benefits of whole and raw food eating.

All products at The Nut Bar are sold by the scoop/kilo and range from quality nuts, seeds and dried fruits, to cereals, grains, beans and pulses at great prices. Open days are Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays & Saturdays.

To help reduce single-use plastic bags and packaging, we provide paper bags, from a sustainable source, for our customers to fill with whatever amount they want, and will also be encouraging people to bring their own containers and jars to refill at the stall if they wish.

I’m Andrea Baines and I’ve been eating a mostly plant-based, high raw food diet for almost 10 years and have experienced massive benefits, not just to my health, but also to my energy levels and my well-being.

As a qualified Raw Food Coach, I taught hundreds of people in live classes when I lived in Ireland how to incorporate more plant foods into their diet in simple and delicious ways. And now I'm back in the Black Country I want to continue to share my healthy recipes and tips on this page and to my customers at The Nut Bar!

The stall is only just beginning, but we aim to grow the range over time as we get to know what customers want!
