A lot of people think they have to eliminate almost all carbs from their diet to lose fat. It couldn’t be further from the truth! It’s all about the Simple & Complex carbs!
Eat simple carbs then the body stores it as fat
Eat Complex carbs then your body burns fat
Eat Complex carbs then your body burns fat
Why?
Simple carbs spike your blood sugar, which releases insulin, which removes all the sugar from your blood and stores it as fat!
Complex carbs DON”T spike your blood sugar and they actually improve digestion!

Complex carbohydrates are high-fiber foods, which improve your digestion. They help stabilize the blood sugar, keep your energy at an even level, and help you feel satisfied longer after your meal.
In contrast, sugar and other simple carbohydrates can alter your mood, lead to cravings and compulsive eating, cause wide swings in your blood-sugar levels, and cause weight gain in most people. In addition, a high consumption of sugar can lead to uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms when you finally decide to improve your diet and forgo the sweets.
