Carbohydrates in nutrition
Complex carbohydrates are mainly those foods in wholegrain form such as oats, wholegrain breads, brown rice and muesli. Complex carbs are broken down into glucose more gradually than simple carbohydrates and therefore give a slow, steady flow of energy during the day
Simple carbohydrates are those foods that have been processed and broken down prior to being put back together again in an artificial way such as to produce chocolate. Natural simple carbohydrates are the healthier carbs to include in the diet, particularly for those who are trying to lose weight.
