They have all been banded together but some carbs are necessary for a healthy and fulfilled lifestyle. So how do you tell a good carb from a bad one? Well, lets go back to basics. There are two basic types of carbohydrates: First the Sugars, which are known as a simple carbohydrates. Secondly the Starches, which are known as complex carbohydrates.
Many foods that contain simple carbohydrates, like pizza, chocolate and cakes also contain a lot of added sugar. Apples, bananas, grapes, & raisins may not be complex carbs, but they are efficient in that they supply essential nutrients and vitamins.
A Metabolic Disorder called 'Ketosis' occurs when your body over a period of time becomes depleted of carbohydrates. If your body is too weak to handle a low-to-no carbohydrate diet, consequences such as constant fatigue, lack of energy and insomnia may result.You can remedy the situation by eating foods high in carbohydrates, at which point you will gain back all the weight you lost.
