As I sit here, staring at this display of pure, all-natural carbs, I can’t help but wonder….
I’ve heard a lot of complaints about costco’s protein bars. They’re just plain flavorless with a few ingredients that don’t really add much to the flavor of the bar. People like the fact that they’re pure carbs which gives them a little more of a “rich” feel, but I’m not really sure it’s that great for long-term health.
When I was growing up, we only had about 30 grams or so of carbs per day. Today we have about 70. I really don’t know how much more we should be eating. One of my roommates told me that they never drink a lot of water and that they ate too many carb-loaded foods. I agree, but I like the idea of eating a lot of carbs and I’m just not sure if it’s good for health.
First of all, we need to ask ourselves if we are eating enough carbs. The average American consumes about 100 grams of carbs per day. Now there are no hard or fast rules about what is good and bad for your health, but the more you eat, the more likely you are to gain weight. You can also lose weight by exercising. So if youre eating the right amount of carbs, the chances of being overweight are pretty low.
But even if youre eating the right amount, there’s still a chance of getting fat. The human body is naturally designed to store excess fat as a kind of cushion for our waistline. In theory at least, the more you eat, the more fat you’ll store and the more weight you’ll gain. That’s why people who have a tendency to gain weight are advised by doctors to restrict their calorie intake and not overeat in order to prevent weight gain.
This is also why, when it comes to protein shakes, costco does an awesome job of providing the right amount of protein. They do this by mixing in the right protein powder. They get rid of the fat, which is why they have the best protein shakes.
That’s the theory but the results are the same. A recent study published in the journal of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, showed that people who are consuming a high-protein diet are more likely to gain weight than those on a low-protein diet. The study looked at 473 people who consumed either a diet high in lean protein or a low-protein diet. The results were similar in the two groups.
