«Healthy carbs» (
as opposed to «unhealthy carbs,» which include sugar and refined, heavily
processed carbs like white bread) are typically from
whole grains, meaning they include a hefty portion of fiber, which helps keep your
digestive system running smoothly.
Overly
processed foods and simple sugars get digested quickly, while natural and
whole - grain foods are harder to break down, so they can help you burn more fat by using it
as a fuel for the
digestive process.
