Welcome to the forum. :hi:

Many people are unwilling to click on external links. If you want us to check your writing, post short excerpts in this section of the forum and we will take a look at them.

I have removed the URL from your post - it can look as if you're just trying to drive traffic to your blog. See my corrections above.

What [STRIKE]is[/STRIKE] are bad carbs?

Bad carbs are foods [Note: we use "foods" (not "food") here because we are talking about different types of food.] that [STRIKE]contains[/STRIKE] have a high GI (Glycemic Index). The glycemic index measures how quickly a carb raises blood sugar.

Glucose is the simplest form of sugar [STRIKE]that is used to[/STRIKE] which the body converts into energy for [STRIKE]body[/STRIKE] its functioning and physical activities. A simple-carb molecule contains only one or two sugars. Therefore, it is easily digested and absorbed into the bloodstream.


After a meal of bad carbs (high GI), your blood sugar [STRIKE]is burst immediately[/STRIKE] shoots up quickly and your body’s energy needs are [STRIKE]is[/STRIKE] fulfilled instantly; [STRIKE]quickly;[/STRIKE] however, [STRIKE]the[/STRIKE] that energy remains available only for a [STRIKE]within the[/STRIKE] short period of time.


Glucose is stored in the form of fat if energy is not needed immediately. [STRIKE]directly.[/STRIKE] Therefore, [STRIKE]obtaining[/STRIKE] the intake of large quantities of bad carbs [STRIKE]in a short time would[/STRIKE] leads to unnecessary extra energy [STRIKE]needed[/STRIKE] and a high chance of getting fat.


Besides, the quick absorption of energy [STRIKE]would[/STRIKE] can make you [STRIKE]a body is more hunger for food[/STRIKE] feel hungry, and as a result, it makes you want to eat more often.

Good carbs or complex carbs, on the other hand, [STRIKE]are structured by[/STRIKE] have three or more sugars [STRIKE]which[/STRIKE] and require more time to digest and absorb.
