Your body is a machine, protein is what you are made up of and carbohydrates is the fuel that makes you go.  

Carbohydrates primary function is to provide the body with fuel for energy.

Simple carbohydrates are naturally in some plants and what we sure as table sugar. You will also find these sugars in fruit and honey. Lactose, is also a simple sugar carbohydrate that brakes down too fast and give you energy immediately but then leaves you feeling tired and sluggish. Lactose you can find in milk.

Simple carbohydrates include:

• Granulated sugar
• Candy
• Soft drinks
• Fruit drinks

Complex carbohydrates brake down slowly in the body and give you long steady energy for several hours. This is because most sources also contain fiver and other materials that slow the digestive process.

Complex carbohydrates include:

• Pasta
• Bread
• Potatoes
• Vegetable
• Rice
• Bagels

You should eat complex carbohydrates regularly to provide you with nutrition and energy .
You may think that if you eat more carbohydrates then you should have more and more energy but there is always a limit. When the body has more than enough glucose from carbs than it needs for energy, extra glucose is stored in the muscles and liver as glycogen. When the muscles and liver have stored all it can handle, excess is converted to fat.

WHAT YOU NEED:
45-65% of your total calories. Make sure that your carbohydrates are fiver-rich.

Eating too many carbs can lead to energy imbalance (more calories consumed than burned), causes weight gain.

• Whole-grain breads and cereals
• Fruits, such as apples and oranges
• Beans and peas

Fiber is an important part of our diets because it plays an important role in elimination and has show to help maintain a healthy intestinal trace and so much more.

Always talk with your doctor first before starting any diet or exercise plan.
