Like whit fat, even among the carbohydrates you should choose the better options for a healthy diet. Many people believe that carbohydrates are the major cause to weight gain instead of fat, and choose to partly or completely leave out carbohydrates in the diet.
The fact is that without carbohydrates in our diet, we feel tired and feeble and the brain cannot perform optimally. Carbohydrates act as the main fuel for the brain and muscles work. Carbohydrates affect our blood sugar and therefore are my tips to avoid rapid carbohydrate which you find for example in white pasta, candy and pastries. Choose instead wholegrain pasta, unsweetened bread with whole grains, legumes, fruits and greens. After a heavy training session you can choose quick carbohydrate products for more efficient recovery.
