The Importance of Breakfast
Ah, breakfast. The oft-debated first meal of the day when you’re breaking your fast from dinner the night before.
I find that people typically fall into one of two categories when it comes to eating breakfast: They are either vehemently devoted to breakfast or quite indifferent to the meal with a “take it or leave it” attitude.

Good Carbs vs Bad Carbs: All About Carbohydrates
All About Carbohydrates: Good Carbs vs Bad Carbs
The proverbial good carbs vs bad carbs question. So which is which?
A low-carb diet is not just eliminating breads from your eating habits. Carbs are found in vegetables, fruits, sugars, grains, nuts, seeds and beans. But not all carbs are created equal.
Carbohydrates are one of the three main macronutrients that we need to get from our diet (fats and proteins are the other two in case you’re wondering). Good carbs are important because they give you fiber, provide energy, and supply important vitamins and minerals.
