Cutting carbs: Are they really the enemy to your fit body?

Carbs are the body’s primary energy source, fueling vital functions like brain activity and physical exertion. They fall into two categories:

1. Simple carbs (e.g., refined sugars, processed foods), which cause rapid blood sugar spikes

2. Complex carbs (e.g., whole grains, legumes, vegetables), rich in fiber and nutrients, offering sustained energy

The problem lies not in carbs themselves but in their quality and quantity. Eliminating all carbs risks deficiencies in fiber, vitamins, and minerals critical for health.
