Good Carbs vs. Bad Carbs (complex carbs and simple carbs)
Loading...
Uploaded by Leahfit on Jul 28, 2011
Note* I do not want to scare you away from all simple carbs because there are simple carbs that are not bad for you like yogurt, milk, honey, sports drinks, etc. These simple carbs are great for pre-workout snacks that will boost your energy quickly on spot. Simple carbs to stay away from are junk food, like cake, twinkies, candy, etc.
The main difference between simple carbs and complex carbs are that simple carbs are broken down into the blood stream quickly, raising your blood glucose levels which gives you a "sugar high", where as complex carbs are broken down slowly releasing energy slowly, so your energy levels are at a constant level.

Hey Leah! I recently switched up my brown rice to Brown Jasmine rice. I've been looking it up, and i can't get a definitive answer on whether or now brown jasmine rice is a complex carb or not. Do you know by any chance? Thanks for the awesome vids! :)

What are granola bars complex or simple?(the plain kind--no chocolate etc)
username6333 1 month ago
@username6333 They are both. They are made with oats so they have complex, but it is also held together with refined sugars which is simple carbs

Spinach, vegetables & fruit are not complex carbs.

@FigureAthletes You're correct- fruit are simple carbs- they are good (or healthy carbs) which is what I was stressing. Vegetables however are complex carbs they just contain a lot more fiber rather than other starchy complex carbs. I am curious to why you say spinach is not a complex carb? Spinach like other vegetables contain 3 or more sugar molecules which take longer to digest because our digestive enzymes need to work longer to break down their long chains of sugar into simple sugars.
