Читать книгу Carb Curfew: Cut the Carbs after 5pm and Lose Fat Fast! - Joanna Hall - Страница 39

Answer the following questions to find out if you are prone to overeating on comfort starches such as bread, pasta, rice and potatoes.

Do you tend to snack on bread and comfort carbohydrates such as cakes and chocolate?

Do you munch bread with each meal?

Do you feel lethargic in the afternoons?

Do you eat most of your calories at the end of your day?

Do you crave carbohydrates?

Do you experience swings in your energy and mood?

Do you find it difficult to stop eating comfort starches like biscuits, bread and pasta?

If you answered yes to most of these questions you are sensitive to comfort carbohydrates, specifically the comfort foods that are starch-based. You probably have a tendency to eat more of these foods than is appropriate and this causes you to feel lethargic and out of control. As well as operating the Carb Curfew, you need to use the starch-free zone (see page 61) when faced with an excess starch situation.

If your answers were mainly negative, you are less prone to overindulging on carbohydrates. If you experience problems with your weight it may be due to excess calories consumed through carbohydrates or an imbalance in your nutrient intake. Introduce the Carb Curfew as a tool to control calorie intake.
