Most adults today are overweight. And almost every one of us is always on the lookout for the next super diet that will once and for all help us to finally shed the pounds.

More and more of us are having problem with weight, and there seems to be a correlation to the number of methods to lose it. Although most of them are pretty good in helping you to lose weight, they can be complicated to understand, and difficult to follow.

I’d like to give you a couple of quick rules here that can take some of the guesswork out of what you should eat, so it will be easier for you to lose weight. While eating the right food is only one part of the puzzle, it’s a huge part.

The biggest enemy to any weight loss plan is the wrong carbohydrates. Sure, you can eliminate the altogether, as many diets recommend. Several studies are starting to show that these can be effective, at least in the short term.

Not all carbs are bad. How do you tell which are good and which are bad? Just avoid anything that was processed. The more something was processed, generally speaking, the worse it is for you. A quick rule is that brown is better.

When choosing pasta, bread or rice, brown is usually better. The whiter a carbohydrate is, generally speaking, the more your body will treat it just like sugar. Of course, brown chocolate is just as bad as white chocolate!

When choosing fats, choose solid, natural fats. Fats found in vegetables such as avocado’s are good. Fats found in a bottle of oil are bad. Fats found in fish is good, fats found in french fries are bad. Just ask yourself, did this grow this way? If it did, then it’s ok. If it didn’t, and it was processed somehow try and avoid it.

If you stick to these simple two rules, you’ll notice a slow but positive change in your body shape, and your energy levels, and your self confidence.
