Carbohydrates become Good or Bad only in the way we use or misuse them.

Carbohydrate-reduced or carbohydrate-free diets appear to work on the surface. Carbohydrate affects blood sugar levels more than protein and fat.

Carbohydrates that contain only one sugar unit (monosaccharides) or two sugar units (disaccharides) are referred to as simple sugars. Carbs also hold water, which is useful and when carbs are reduced, the body effectively loses 'weight' by drying out and losing muscle stores. Carbohydrates are one of the three “macro-nutrients” that our bodies need to function properly.

Carbohydrates are the fuel that your body uses for energy. Carbohydrates are now the bad guys to many and protein is king.

Carbs with a low GI help stabilize our weight because they don't bring about highs and lows in blood sugar, and they keep our appetite steady. Carbohydrate counting helps you keep track of how much carbohydrate you eat for meals and snacks. Carbohydrates are classified as simple or complex

Carbohydrate-reduced or carbohydrate-free diets appear to work on the surface. Carbs are one of your body's best friends. Carbohydrates are the fuel that your body uses for energy.

Carbohydrates are types of sugars. The most important function is as the primary source of energy for the body.  There are the right carbs and the wrong carbs, though.

Simple carbohydrates are broken down relatively quickly and hence release larger amounts of glucose into the blood in a short period of time. Simple carbohydrates are sugars found in candies, fruits and baked food goods and on the other hand, complex carbohydrates are those carbohydrates that are found in beans, nuts, vegetables and whole grains. Carbohydrates themselves are not actually necessary; glucose is necessary, and that can be obtained from sources other than carbohydrates.

Carbohydrates occur in plant foods and foods derived from plants. Carbohydrates taken in by the body is broken down into glucose which provides the much needed energy of the human body. Carbohydrates are biomolecules that release energy during the metabolism process.

Carbohydrates are found in almost all plant products but they are not present in significant amounts in animal products, except milk. Carbohydrates supply your body with glucose. Carbohydrates are your body's primary source of energy

Simple carbohydrates are digested quickly, whereas complex carbohydrates take longer to be digested.

Fats however don't offer that quick energy but by feeding a diet higher in fat, the  body becomes accustomed to using fat more readily and therefore can constantly burn it for energy. Fat and protein can also be broken down to supply energy, but aren't used as effectively by our bodies as carbohydrate.

Fats transport nutrients and they are a part of many body cells. Fat requires more oxygen for metabolism than carbohydrates. ddFat has over twice as many Calories as do carbohydrates and protein.

Glucose is one of the major sources for energy your body uses. Glucose (a carbohydrate) reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water which are breathed out as waste products.
