CARBS Carbohydrates are the body’s preferred source of energy and are essential for helping us feel and perform at our best each day. Complex carbohydrates should make up a significant portion of the diet, as they break down gradually, promoting satiety and balanced energy levels. Simple carbohydrates, on the other hand, are broken down quickly causing energy spikes and crashes therefore should be consumed in moderation (e.g., white bread, pastries, chocolate, and sweets).
