Why some carbs leave you reaching for the biscuit tin an hour later 🥖 vs 🍠
We’ve all been there—you have a quick sandwich or a pastry for lunch, and by 3 PM your energy has completely tanked. It’s a total myth that all carbs are "bad," but there is a massive difference in how your body handles them.🤷♀️
Think of unprocessed carbs—like oats, beans, or a roasted sweet potato—as slow-release fuel. Because they still have all their natural fibre and nutrients intact, your body has to work a bit harder to break them down. This is actually a good thing! It means you get a steady stream of energy that keeps you full and focused for hours. 💪✨️💥
On the other hand, highly processed or refined carbs like white bread and sugary snacks have been stripped of the good stuff. Your body digests them almost instantly, which causes that familiar spike in blood sugar followed by a grumpy, tired crash. 😫
The goal isn't to cut out carbs entirely, but to focus on the ones that actually fuel your day.
Next time you're prepping a meal, try swapping white rice for brown or choosing wholemeal over white. Your energy levels (and your mood) will definitely notice the difference. 💥💪✨️🤩
