Can someone explain carbs to me?
Question:
Answers:
there are complex carbs, and there are simple carbs
complex carbs is food energy in a complex form that requires your body and chemicals to break them down into simple sugars for use as a fuel in your body
example of this is fresh veggies,fruits,whole grains
or anything un processed form ,
your body uses calories just to break these forms down into calories
Simple carbs are refined sugars they are easy for your body to consume/store they have been processed like the sugars/carbs in beer, they need little or no processing by the body to get into the system anything that has been processed I call simple carbs
examples candy's ,bread, pasta, any kind of refined or even
unrefined sugar
the sugars/carbs in your beer have been processed several times over.
You Don't use it, you lose it.
complex carbs is what I call good carbs, your body needs to produce insulin to break these carbs down.
thus it makes insulin
Simple carbs on the other hand doesn't require so much insulin. so your body doesn't need to make so much. to digest these carbs
If you don't use it, You lose it
If you are on a no-carb diet then you are to consume no-carbs, however even Atkins allowed 20 per day during their Induction phase. It's not only VERY hard, but also very unhealthy to eat zero carbs.
The problem with low carb diets (I've done Atkins twice) is that although you can lose weight like crazy, when you get off the diet it reappears like magic,
Stick to a healthy, well balanced diet to include complex carbs (healthy ones) and other good foods...and exercise. Gimmick diets are just that, gimmicks. They are worthless long term.
This website gives a great explanation.

Hi,
I've tried so many different diets in the last 10 years that I can say now, they don't work!
A few months ago, I came across a great product for weight loss and like many others I was skeptical about it. But I really wanted to lose weight and I tried it. The results were excellent and I lost 20 pounds in 2 months. I felt fantastic and I dropped another 5 pounds safely. That's why I recommend you check this product at
http://www.get-slender.info where they have a free trial and you only pay 5.49$ shipping and handling.
Good luck!
