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.

The amount of diets and methods available to us seems to swell along with our waistlines. Most are pretty good, and can go a long way towards helping us. Many though, are confusing, and hard to put into practice without having to check some complicated chart or spreadsheet every time you want to buy or cook something.

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.

Believe it or not, some carbs are better than others. How can you tell the difference? Avoid anything processed. A quick and easy rule is to choose brown, if you have a choice. Brown usually means less processed.

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!

Good fats and bad fats can be another mystery. The easy way to choose is pick natural over processed, or solid over liquid. Solid fats in fish, avocado, and nuts are good. Liquid fats in oils, and all deep fried foods, are bad. Pretty simple.

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.
