Carb Carnival - Finding Good Carbohydrates

Finding Good Carbohydrates--Nemo Style

If you are looking for good carbohydrates , you needn't look any further than your children's DVD collection. HUH!, you might say. YES, it sounds ridiculous, but, keep reading. And, NO, we are not referring to the newest crop of wacky new exercise routines or crash diets. How about a clue?

Start by thinking of that lovable little fish that decided to venture into the unknown on his own mission of discovery. Along the way he encountered many obstacles, but, in doing so, he learned a lot about himself.

By now you must know that we are referring to Finding Nemo. As simple as his story may seem, you can take the same approach in your quest of finding good carbs . Sure Nemo was confused when he set out into the vast open waters of the ocean, but, with a little help from his friends, he soon began to realize that he was a pretty good judge of character who knew how to compromise when necessary.

Use this analogy as a starting point in your own quest to find the perfect carbohydrates . Like Nemo, you know when you're making bad choices. He began by leaving home and wandering into a world of unknown pitfalls and roadblocks. We make the same mistakes when we hide behind a veil of uncertainty regarding our dietary choices. The aisles at our local supermarket are, for this purpose, just like the open waters that Nemo encountered.

"What we don't know, won't hurt us," right? WRONG. You are the best person to analyze your eating habits and make the necessary corrections. Think of the foods you eat as the fuel that runs the machine called your body. Nemo made concessions and relied on information and creativity to make his way home. You can bring the same level of enthusiasm to your dieting routine by making smart choices.

We hope that your dieting success has the same happy ending as Nemo's story. Fairy tales are sometimes a good place to look for lessons in real life.
