The Whole Foods Weight Loss Eating Plan isn’t an eat-all-the-fat-and-protein-you-can-possibly-consume diet. It’s really focused on enjoying whole or unprocessed foods and enjoying the healthy side effects, including having more energy, stabilizing your blood-sugar levels, losing weight, and improving your self-confidence. Whole foods are fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, nuts, and seeds that haven’t been processed to remove vitamins, minerals, fiber, and so on. They’re foods that are sold to consumers as close to the same state that nature provided them.

Most foods contain some carbohydrates. Even an 8-ounce glass of skim milk contains 12 grams of carbs. A cup of broccoli contains 8 carb grams. And yet, both milk and broccoli are packed full of other nutritional benefits, including vitamins, nutrients, fiber, and phytochemicals. If you strictly limit the number of carb grams in your diet without considering the quality of the carbs you eat, you’ll be missing out on some key foods that will enhance your overall good health.

These sections clarify which carbs you can eat as much as you want on the Whole Foods Weight Loss Eating Plan and with which carbs you need to be more selective.
