The key to enjoying carbs while managing your weight comes down to two things: quality and quantity.
Quality carbs are often high in fiber and therefore low in net carbs. Low net carbs result in barely filling up your glycogen stores so that your body burns fat for fuel instead. When carbs are refined and have no fiber (like white pasta), focus on quantity so you don’t overfill your glycogen stores.
Cauliflower is lower in carbs (5g per cup) and it is an extremely healthy vegetable that is high fiber (supports weight loss and healthy digestion), vitamin C (helps with collagen productions), and vitamin K (prevents bone loss).
