CARBOHYDRATES AS FUEL.

The immediate sources of fuel for our bodies are
carbohydrates (sugars and starches). These are
very important sources of energy; sugars are the
simplest form of carbohydrate and although they
are often thought to be ‘bad’, it’s only the
over-processed sugars that have all the other
nutrients removed that you need to cut. The
others, such as those found in fruits, are a key
element of a healthy body, as blood sugar levels
play an integral part in the normal functioning
of the body - it is the only source the brain
uses.

If sugar levels are low, lethargy may creep in,
leading to decreased concentration, tiredness and
bad food choices.

Something to think about the next time you want
to cut back on carbs.
