What are carbohydrates?
Carbs are your body’s main source of energy.
We eat them every day — fruits, vegetables, rice, noodles, bread.
But to manage energy, hunger and weight,
we must understand Complex Carbs vs Simple Carbs.
🥦 Complex Carbohydrates (Good Carbs)
✔ Slow digestion
✔ Steady energy
✔ Keep you full longer
✔ High in fibre, vitamins, minerals
Examples: vegetables, fruits, brown rice, oats, sweet potato, whole grains, beans.
🍞 Simple Carbohydrates (Less Ideal Carbs)
✘ Absorb fast
✘ Spike your sugar
✘ Make you hungry faster
✘ Mostly from processed or sugary foods
Examples: white bread, pastries, biscuits, donuts, soft drinks, sweet beverages.
Conclusion:
Choosing the right carbs is more important than cutting carbs.
👉🏻 Choose more complex carbs
👉🏻 Eat less simple carbs
This will help stabilise your energy, focus and appetite.
