Cutting carbohydrates is one of the popular ways to create a calorie deficit<\/a> while trying to lose weight. However, according to Dan Go, a fitness coach with over 20 years of experience, we do not have to deny ourselves of carbs completely to hit our fitness goals.<\/p>\n

\"PotatoesPotatoes are low in calories and high in fibre, making them a good source of carbs, according to Dan Go. (Pexel)<\/p>\n

Taking to Instagram on January 25, Dan shared five sources of carbohydrate that can be consumed to stay full, even while being on a fat loss journey.<\/p>\n

\u201cStop fearing carbs<\/a>. Start choosing the right ones,\u201d Dan wrote in the caption. \u201cThe goal isn\u2019t eliminating carbs. It\u2019s eating smarter carbs that work with your deficit, not against it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The list of five healthy carb sources is presented as follows.<\/p>\n

1. Potatoes<\/p>\n

\u201cPotatoes are low in calories, high in fibre, especially the skin,\u201d shared Dan. \u201cThis makes them incredibly filling. Also, the resistant starch and high water content help you feel satisfied longer.\u201d<\/p>\n

2. Blueberries<\/p>\n

Blueberries are rich in fibre and water, which makes them low in calories but highly satiating. The fibre present in the fruit slows digestion and helps keep us full while stabilising blood sugar.<\/p>\n

3. Lentils<\/p>\n

\u201cLentils are loaded with fibre and plant-based protein, both of which are proven to increase satiety and curb hunger,\u201d stated Dan, adding that \u201clentils are better than rice as a carb source because they contain fewer calories, more fibre, and also higher amounts of protein.\u201d<\/p>\n

4. Broccoli<\/p>\n

While broccoli is a green cruciferous vegetable, it is still considered to be a good source of carbohydrates. Dan considers broccoli to be the \u201cperfect\u201d food to volumise meals, as it is rich in fibre and water, which helps us feel full while also providing \u201can incredible nutrient profile.\u201d This includes vitamins C and K, and folate, which support metabolism and digestion.<\/p>\n

5. Apples<\/p>\n

\u201cApples are nature\u2019s appetite suppressants,\u201d noted Dan. \u201cThey are naturally sweet, low in calories, and high in fibre, which helps you curb hunger and also reduce snacking.\u201d The fibre content in apples also helps regulate blood sugar and keeps us full while being nutrient-dense, providing \u201cvitamins and antioxidants with every bite.\u201d<\/p>\n
