7 High-Carb Foods You Need to Stop Eating Before They Kill You

Last Updated on January 7, 2021

According to many new studies, limiting your carb intake can do more than help you lose weight, it can actually save your life!
If you eat too many carbs, you’d better stop now.

One study found that people who ate plenty of high-carb foods (over 60% of their daily calories) had about a 30% increased risk of dying in less than a decade than people who follow a low-carb diet.

Other studies suggest that following a low-carb diet can boost your memory and improve your chances of living longer.

However, cutting off carbs completely is a bad idea. Just like there are good and bad types of fat, there are also good carbs and bad carbs.
Good carbs include whole grains, potatoes, legumes, whole fruit, and vegetables.

But what about the bad ones? Click on Next to check them out and learn why you absolutely need to avoid or at least limit them

#7 – Juice

Juices might be trendy and wellness gurus might be praising their magnificent health benefits, yet, the truth is fruit juices are the simple carbohydrates you should rather be avoiding.

Unlike fruit juice, blending is fine because it includes the entire fruit, preserving the fiber content. In fact, it is the fiber that separates beneficial carbs from harmful carbs.

The simple sugars in juice and certain types of smoothies cause blood sugar spikes, and as it gets low, you’ll start feeling hungry too soon, unlike what happens when you eat foods and drinks that are rich in fiber. So make sure to opt for low-calorie unsweetened drinks instead of juice.

#6 – Sweetened Soda, Coffee, or other Drinks

Sweetened drinks, especially soda, are pretty high in carbs, which means you need to avoid them if you want to live longer. In fact, one can of Coke contains 39 g of carbs, along with more than 150 empty calories.
