Carbs are referred to as macronutrients, meaning they are one of the three main ways our bodies obtain energy. ]]> 2020-09-02 05:22:13 UTC https://padlet.com/asan3206/j6phktblmsqrlj47/wish/714027037 zfen5931 https://padlet.com/asan3206/j6phktblmsqrlj47/wish/714027088 Carbohydrates can be stored in the muscle and liver in the form of glycogen.

The fiber and bran, as well as many of the vitamins and minerals they contain, have been stripped away. Thus, the body processes these carbohydrates quickly, and they provide little nutrition although they contain about the same number of calories.]]> 2020-09-02 05:31:47 UTC https://padlet.com/asan3206/j6phktblmsqrlj47/wish/714041665 zfen5931 https://padlet.com/asan3206/j6phktblmsqrlj47/wish/714044924

One gram of carbohydrate contains approximately 4 kilocalories

High glycemic index (GI) carbohydrates quickly enter the bloodstream as glucose. The more the processed the food is the higher the GI.

Switching to a low-GI diet improves the chance of a healthy weight and lifestyle
