Unprocessed and unrefined simple carbohydrates are the ideal fuel source for our bodies, which they easily convert into energy so that we can carry out all our daily activities.

Carbs provide about four calories of energy per gram (except for fiber, which is calorie - free), and are the body's preferred fuel source for high - intensity activities (like sports, running and weight training).

The use of carbs for fuel is exactly what the ketogenic diet aims to avoid by greatly limiting carbs and their sources in order to give the body its alternative energy source, which is fat.
