The Carbohydrates –
Bad guy that can make you fat


The two different kinds of carbohydrates that are the source of energy for us are simple carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates. The complex carbohydrate must be broken to be simple sugar or glucose in order to be able being absorbed. Only three kinds of sugar which make carbohydrate can be eaten. It is glucose, fructose and lactose. Glucose is found in wheat, bread, paste, starch, cereal, flour, and vegetables. Fructose is found mainly in fruits and lactose is found in milk.

The simple carbohydrate is sugar which is turned to be glucose that runs in our blood to enter cell walls by assistance of insulin from our pancreas. In the cells, the glucose is stored. When we need energy, the mitochondria in the cell process the glucose become energy. If we consume too much carbohydrate then the rest of unused glucose is stored by insulin as fatty acid. We have to cleverly recognize and select the good carbohydrate and distinct it with bad carbohydrate. If you eat too much carbohydrate you will have much insulin in your blood. Insulin will not only store your carbohydrate in the fat cells, but also will tell your body to keep the fat. So if you have too much carbohydrate, it will not only make you fat but also will keep you stay fat.

Good Carbohydrates

The good carbohydrate means, it has low glycemic index and high in fiber. The carbohydrate is the food macro nutrient that we eat and after certain digestion process it will be transported into our arteries. The low glycemic carbohydrate will take longer time or slow process to become glucose or blood sugar. It will switch slower reaction of the pancreas to produce insulin because the sugar content in our blood circulation is not too much. While, in the case of high glycemic carbohydrate, it will turn quickly to be glucose or blood sugar. When there is too much sugar in our blood, the pancreas produces much insulin in order to help sugar to enter our cells by opening the pad lock of the cell walls.

Those flooded insulin in our blood will cause the lowest unwanted content of the blood sugar. This condition will make us tired, feel bad and want to eat more carbohydrate again. If you eat too much high glycemic carbohydrate then it will make you hungry and want to eat more and more. The extra blood sugar will be processed and make your fat cell getting larger. You are getting fatter and fatter. If the decrease of sugar content in your blood is going slowly, your eating desire will get down too. So, please choose low glycemic carbohydrate for your breakfast, mid morning snack, lunch, mid afternoon snack, dinner and snack before going to bed.

Bad Carbohydrates


The bad carbohydrate is the high glycemic carbohydrates which quickly run to our arteries as blood sugar. It has very little or zero fiber. It maybe in the form of simple carbohydrate like sugar and carbohydrate complex but has little fiber. In my guidance you will learn how to recognize this bad carbohydrate and avoid them. Eliminate it from your dinner table or do not let anybody put it in front of you when you eat. Take it out from your menu list. It is not only potential to make you over weight but also can give you an access to heart attack, stroke and cancer.

You have to avoid and stop consuming all kind of bad carbohydrates. The bad carbohydrates like white sugar, candy, syrups, white breads, pancakes, waffles, doughnuts, white rice, cakes, pies, pastas, noodles, spaghetti, carrot, potatoes, corns, banana, papaya, mangoes, dates, raisins and other sweet foods should be erased from your daily menu. These all kinds of simple and complex carbohydrates will run quickly in your blood streams as sugar. This blood sugar will trigger your pancreas to produce much insulin. This condition will make your blood sugar level decrease to the bad low level. It will make you feel hungry and want to eat anymore even you stomach has been full. The too much sugar content in the blood will also can trigger glycation of your body cells. This kind of inflammation will ruin your organ and your artery wall. The plaque or arteriosclerosis will be built up to narrow your blood vessels.

Bad carbohydrates will make you fat and fatter and it will play significant role in the accumulation of plaques in your arteries. Do not include any high glycemic bad carbohydrate food in any of your meals. It will become more dangerous to your health when these evil bad carbohydrates are combined with poisonous trans fatty acids from oxygenated oil when frying or added margarine, the hydrogenated polyunsaturated fatty acid or vegetable oil. These kinds of trans fatty acids are be found in all frying foods like doughnuts, French fries, fried chickens etcetera. It will also much in margarine or shortening based foods like pies, cakes, biscuits, muffins, breads and many others that you can tell.
