Carbs

They are in products such as bread, cakes, pasta, rice etc. They are bad for us if we eat too much of them, as they get digisted very quickly and restored it as fat in our bodies, but they do provide us with a lot of energy - which is important, the key is to find the healthier solution for this.

- Limit your consumption of carbs (smaller portion of pasta, could be an option).

Simply to avoid simple carbs (such as white bread, sodas, candy and desserts) - as they are stripped from all natural nutrientions (it might taste good, but your body does not need it - therefore they are digested faster). Typically there is a lot of sugar in them - which makes them more addictive.

Go for complex carbs (such as whole grain products, fresh fruits and vegetables) - they are in their 'natural' state which gives your body the nutrientions it needs. Also by choosing whole grain, it takes longer time for your body to digest which makes your body full for a longer time compare to simple carbs, and also give you more energy.

Which one do you choose?
