Refined carbs are not inherently unhealthy! The main downsides of refined carbs are the lack of fiber and nutrients, and the calorie density coupled with rapid consumption!

If refined carbs make up a larger part of your diet, and you also eat lots of animal products devoid of fiber and phytonutrients, your gut health will suffer! But if you eat enough fiber and choose less processed, starch-rich refined carbs, your gut will be happy!

Refined carbs coupled with an overall unhealthy dietary pattern, low in nutrient density, will also increase the risk for nutrient deficiencies! Refined carbs within an overall healthy dietary pattern, rich in whole plant foods, will not!

The high calorie density of refined carbs can be problematic if you want to lose weight! One way to deal with this problem is to eat refined carbs at a slow pace as part of a healthy meal. For example white pasta with lots of vegetables, or white rice as part of a vegetable-rich curry!

If you suffer from heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, abdominal obesity, etc. you should still minimize your refined carb intake!
