Eat carbohydrates and lose weight

Carbohydrates have less than half the calories of fatty foods gram for gram.  Carbohydrates contain only 4 calories per gram whereas fats contain 9 calories per gram.  The key problem with carbohydrates is that we tend to add fatty foods to them such as cream, butter, cheese, margarine, mayonnaise and therefore add to the overall calorie content. 

Next time you have a jacket potato use a sweet potato - they have so much taste you don’t need to add butter or cheese.  Instead add some tasty tuna with black pepper or some beans and salad.
