All about them CARBS…

Please, I beg you, STOP…

Fearing carbohydrates!🥔🍓🍯🥝🍞🥞🍪🍿🥦🍌
.
ALL carbs are broken down into simple sugars that are used to fuel your central nervous system (brain!) and your body, aka very important 🧠
.
There are TWO types: simple versus complex carbs
🍯Simple: contain a smaller number of units to be broken down which means a quicker burst of energy (aka preworkout)
1. Example: honey/fruit juice/rice cakes
.
🥔Complex contain higher number of units to be broken down which fuel your body slowly over a longer period of time. These contain fiber which keeps you fuller longer.
1. Example: whole fresh fruits, beans, breads, rice and vegetables
.
Personally, adding more carbs slowly and methodically into my diet has allowed me to perform much better in the gym also and completely transform my muscles 🏋🏼‍♀️

Flexible dieting teaches you that there are no “good” or “bad” carbs BUT what kind of carbs you eat will have an effect on your daily performance. So go ahead, eat that cookie, but make sure you have veggies too 😘
