NJ Personal Trainer Says Don’t Ditch the Carbs

Jan. 15, 2011 - PRLog -- New Year’s dieters maybe forgoing carbohydrates to kick start their weight loss plan, but NJ Personal Trainer and fitness expert Eddie Albert says the plan could backfire on them and lead to weight gain.

Eddie says dieters should never try fad diets, deprivation or cutting out a specific food group entirely.  According to Eddie, education and not deprivation is the key to lasting weight loss success.  “We have to educate those who want to lose weight on the proper food groups and about portion sizes as well.  Boycotting bread to lose weight won’t work.  What happens when you go back to eating bread again? You can’t do without it forever,” explains Eddie.

“Carbs have a bad reputation on the diet block but that’s mostly because most people eat the wrong types of carbohydrates,” he says.  According to Eddie, complex carbs like whole grain bread, wheat and oatmeal give you energy and contain fiber, two important components for losing weight. “You need energy to be active and workout and fiber helps your system regulate itself so your metabolism can be free of toxins and burn efficiently.

Eddie says that the carbs that should be ditched are ‘simple carbs’.  These include candy, white rice, white flour, white bread, regular pastas, sugar, etc.  Simple carbs are refined—not natural and can lead to weight gain, diabetes, obesity, cardio vascular disease and more.

Eddie says the first step in getting healthy is to switch all white breads and regular pastas out for wheat breads and wheat pastas and exchange soda for water.  “Just that little change could actually help some people start to lose weight right off the bat,” says Eddie.

Eddie is a personal trainer, fitness expert and owner of Ultimate Fitness, a 24 hour gym in Ocean Township.  He offers the ‘Ultimate 6’ weight loss program which is a 6 week diet that cleans out the toxins and kick starts your metabolism.  For more information about Eddie or Ultimate Fitness, visit http://www.ultimatefitnesstrainingcenter.com/menu/nj-pers... .
