Carbohydrate foods are very important for the body. Because he needs carbohydrates as an energy supplier.

All types of sugar are called carbohydrates. Basically, all foods contain carbohydrates, except for water. Carbohydrates consist of molecule chains of different lengths:
The body can process short molecular chains quickly and easily. Such carbohydrates are mainly found in sweets and other sweet foods.
The body needs more time for long molecule chains. They are mainly found in whole grain products.
In short: long-chain carbohydrates fill you up for longer because the body is busy using the carbohydrates for longer. Therefore, they are also better for losing weight than short-chain carbohydrates.
