Complex carbohydrates????????

Good evening....

I am going to refresh everyone re: the definition of a complex carbohydrates...... The main goal of a nutritious diet is to balance your foods in your food groups and avoid raising your blood sugar. Not all starches are equal. Some are more glycemic than others.In this sense they are not complex for very long-Grains including wheat/rice/barley/oats/potatoes/corn and beans -all are very starchy. Most are rolled or puffed or ground or flaked-all being processed foods so when we get into that then we are dealing with immediately, once swallowed, turn into sugar in minutes. Some legumes break into sugar at a slower rate. Short grained rice more glycemic than long grained. Whole gains better for us... all way round
More on this subject-tomorrow evening...
