So much of the time we hear people say, “To lose weight, you have to eat less.”

And yes, in it’s most basic form, weight loss comes down to achieving a calorie deficit.

(aka: burning more calories than you eat)

While achieving this calorie deficit is certainly important, it’s equally as important to fuel your body. Meaning, you still need to eat! You just need to focus on clean eating.

“How to lose weight without starving? Yeah right!”

Are you someone who believes it’s just not possible to eat healthy and lose weight without feeling hungry all the time?

Well, I have news for you!

That’s simply not true.

In a recent post, I had to type up a brief healthy carbs list, giving a few examples of those “good” carbs we should include with our regular eats.

I got a few down and then got stuck. I didn’t want to keep listing whole-wheat pasta, whole-wheat bread, whole-wheat crackers, etc.

While whole-wheat foods are less processed and better for you (more fiber, more nutrients, less of a blood sugar boost, and longer-lasting energy), they still are processed. Dough is mixed with additives and preservatives before being baked.

This got me curious about the carbs that are actually unprocessed. Or at the very least, not so processed as breads, crackers, and the like.
