South Beach Diet: Good Carbs, Great!
A South Beach Diet related trial done in the Netherlands recently involved feeding 26 males good carbohydrates (complex carbs) for breakfast one day, and then bad carbs (simple carbohydrates) for breakfast the following day.
The results wont seem surprising to anyone familiar with the South Beach Diet. The researchers found that those consuming a complex carbohydrate breakfast (whole grain breads and cereals) felt more energetic and less hungry, throughout the day, than those who ate the simple carbohydrates.
The consumption of the simple refined carbs for breakfast (which the South Beach Diet advises against) resulted in increased glucose and insulin levels, triglyceride levels and free fatty acids.
