Carbs? Ridiculously delicious — but alas, we're always hearing they’re not so good for you.
But super carbs? A totally different story!

"Yes, you can eat carbs!" says our friend Dave Zinczenko, author of The Super Metabolism Diet. "What's great about [super carbs] is that they do provide vital nutrients — essential fibers. And they help you to stay full and to not have a roller coaster of a blood sugar level."
He insists, "You've got to get carbs into your diet. They're not a villain!"
But which carbs are "super?" Those would include oatmeal, quinoa and what Dave calls the "ancient grains": teff (which boasts a nutty flavor), amaranth (which you can find in certain cereals) and kamut (which contains essentials like fiber and magnesium).
