Guide to carbohydrates for beginners Copy Cwp April 6, 2018 No Comments The topic is recurring, and lends itself to diverse conclusions, some clinical studies have shown that restriction in carbohydrate intake leads to a significant reduction in body weight and localized fat deposits in various parts of the body. We present this guide to carbohydrates for someone who knows nothing about the subject. Types of Simple Carbohydrates They are found in bread and white flour, pasta, sugar and cookies, contributing very little in our favor, although they provide an immediate boost of energy, their residues are difficult to process, becoming glycogen and accumulated reserve fat. Complexes We find them in fruits, vegetables and whole grain products. That is, those that preserve the shell. They break down slowly in the body and do not affect blood glucose levels. In addition, they are rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals. If you identify the difference between refined and complex carbohydrates, you will notice that if you include whole grains daily, the energy intake will be greater. They will also help you feel satiated and effectively control your appetite. Vegetables and vegetables contain high energy content, as well as fiber, vitamins and starches. Sweet potato, for example, is a tuber rich in starches that function as a glycogen stabilizer in the blood. Although when we try to lose weight it does not matter what time we eat carbohydrates, it is better not to abuse them at dinner and preferably consume them in the morning or at lunch. All tubers such as potatoes, carrots, white sweet potatoes, beets and tapioca have high nutritional content. Cooking them Grilled or grilled they will not absorb oil during their preparation, in addition to acquiring a more accentuated flavor and color. Just season with sea salt and sprinkle with fine herbs like rosemary and marjoram. Their starches can be processed more easily. Although this guide on carbohydrates is very useful, remember to always go to your Cambridge consultant for advice on which carbohydrates you can include in your dietary list and which are completely restricted.
