Fresh Fruits and Vegetables are Best
For healthy weight-management, fruits and vegetables are the best type of carbohydrates.
These natural carbohydrates with long chain sugars and fiber are ideal for replenishing your body with the energy required to fuel your brain, nervous system and muscles.
Remember, refined carbohydrates, like sugar, are so concentrated that they overload the system. The body is equipped to store only limited amounts for energy needs. Cakes, pie, candy, and soda cause the blood sugar to rise. Your body responds by producing insulin, a hormone causing a rapid drop in the blood sugar level.
So, stick with fruits and vegetables.
