Slow Carbs: Fast Carbs
I’ve looked all over the internet for this very simple list – what types (names) of food are slow digesting carbs & what types (names) of food are fast digesting carbs? What’s an example? i.e. fruit, whole grains, bagels, bread. Which ones are fast and which ones are slow?
Also, when should I consume fast digesting carbs and when should i consume slow digesting carbs? i.e. breakfast, lunch or dinner? morning, afternoon, night? before or after a workout? Thank you. John. [via Ask Questions]
I think your questions are answered in Slow-Digesting Carbs and Fast-Digesting Carbs.

U need all 3: Slow and fast carbs AND protein. For example, Protein-steak; Slow carb-fruit; Fast carb-Mac and chz.
Fast Carbs-White pastas, mac and Chz, fries, desserts, potatoes, alcohol and white breads.
Slow Carbs-Salads, veggies, dark beans and fruits are slow carbs. Dark pasta and dark breads.
Protein-Hamburger, steak, chicken, beef, wings, fish, tuna, pork, ham, bacon, eggs, chz and milk.
If you drink Milk with ur meals, eat less of the protein portion (steak) to enjoy more glasses of milk.
When snacking, focus on eating slow carbs or smaller portions of fast carbs. Yogurt is a good snack bc most people consume much protein in a day.
Of course, you need to exercise. Pool or walk. Buy p90x…its awesome for losing or maintaining weight or toning your muscles. I was a soccer junkie but I tore my meniscus. I gained 35 lbs. since then, but I tried to incorporate all 3 things in my meals and it has worked. I’ve lost 10 in the first 2 weeks. Healthy weight. Make sure you walk or some sort of exercise…even if its Wii Fit!
***oops…yogurt is a good snack bc most people DO NOT consume much protein in a day!!!!
