Those carbs 'o mine

millenia Posts: 133 Joined: 2004/04/03	2004/10/24, 07:49 AM I'm not too clear on the carbohydrates. I know i should not be having alot of them in my diet but saomeone mentioned to me that there are carbs that are easier to break down and to burn off than other ones. My problem is i eat about 5-6 slices of wholemeal bread a day. Is bread one of those hard to get rid of carbs in your body?. :(

You need carbohydrates. They are your energy. I'm completely against diets which tell people to stay away from carbs. Naturally, too much of something is not good, but there is the good carbs and the bad carbs (refind carbs... from snacks, sodas, etc).
