Suddenly, everyone stopped eating carbohydrates. Bread is the devil, and if you eat pasta, you might as well just eat a few heaping spoonfuls of sugar. Whatever. Carbohydrates are delicious, and fortunately, the Super Carb Diet is here now.

Bob Harper, former coach on the show Biggest Loser, has published a diet book in which he absolutely does not shy away from carbohydrates. Unfortunately, the diet does not consist solely of carbohydrates, but says that you should stick to 40 percent protein, 30 percent fat and 30 percent carbohydrates in order to lose weight. So why is it called ‘super carb’? Because you have to eat so-called super carbs.

Fiber, fiber, fiber

Super carbs include carbohydrates that are high in fiber, such as whole-wheat bread, brown rice, lentils and beans. It is also important to eat as few processed products as possible. Not exactly revolutionary, if you ask me; it just sounds like common sense. But if he has helped so many people lose weight, he must be doing something right.

Diet bread

Anyway, during your next shopping trip, get yourself a delicious loaf of bread under the heading of diet food. At least, that’s what we’re going to do.
