Carbohydrates often get a bad rap in the weight loss community. With tons of low carb diets out thier and mis information. The truth is carbs are our bodies main source of energy and also aids in recovery and performance. Carbohydrates can be broken down into two groups, complex and simple. Simple sugars like honey and fruits are easily digestible. Complex carbohydrates help controll your insulin and blood sugar levels, also provide your body with energy. My top for favorite carbohydrates are oatmeal, sweet potatoes, brown rice, and quinoa. These are nutrient dense foods that are high in fiber which helps the digestive system. Higher intakes of dietary fiber are associated with lower incidence of heart disease and certain cancers. However thier are carbs you need to avoid. Anything with added sugar ( table sugar.) your body will not be able to break down added sugar is not the same as natural sugars, this will cause an instant spike in your insulin levels and put your body into a fat storing mode. 

Carbs you need to avoid cerals, breads, doughnuts, muffins, sodas, or anything made with added sugar. These foods will cause you to gain weight. Complex carbs will provide satiety and keep your blood sugar levels from spiking to high. Fruits and vegetables are good sources of carbohydrates. The reason I don't believe. In low carb diets because your body needs carbohydrates to function properly. If you deprive yourself of carbs you will drop weight quickly. However this is not a healthy way to achieve weight loss and the results will not be permanent. Your energy levels will drop and so will your performance. Once you go off the diet the weight comes back quickly. The key to permanent weight/fat loss is learning to eat healthy natural foods. So remember their Are good carbs and bad carbs, so choose wisley!
