28. Eliminating healthy carbs completely

The low-carb craze is still in full effect, with veggies standing in for carbs in all their forms. While this can be a good practice to adopt, you don't want to eliminate healthy carbs completely. Whole-wheat breads, pastas, brown rice, high-fiber cereal, etc., are still full of essential nutrients and provide you with slow-release energy to make it through your day and stay active. The key is not taking in too much of them. Know your portion sizes, and stick to them. And try to plan higher-carb days around your workout schedule.
