Carbohydrates come in two forms, simple and complex. Simple carbohydrates (or carbs) come from natural and processed sugars, quickly absorbed into the body as energy. Unfortunately, this energy doesn’t last very long and is quickly followed by a feeling of decreased energy levels, leaving the person tired and sluggish. These kind of carbs are not recommended for athletes or bodybuilders.

Complex carbs on the other hand are beneficial for those undergoing exercise and fitness programs. Complex carbohydrates represent the majority of the body’s energy source. You can find these kind of carbs in oatmeal, bread, brown rice, potatoes, and wheat. Regular servings of complex carbohydrates is recommended, as they give your body long-lasting energy and enable you to work harder and feel better throughout the day.
