QUESTION: What is the difference between a ‘Simple’ Carb vs. a ‘Complex’ Carb?
ANSWER: The Fiber
SIMPLE Carb = No Fiber (Bad Carb)
COMPLEX Carb = Contains Fiber (Good Carb)
A SIMPLE Carb breaks down SIMPLY and QUICKLY causing a SPIKE in blood sugar, which in
turn causes insulin (one of your fat-storing hormones) to be released to help lower your now HIGHER blood sugar…
causing the SUGAR CRASH, (energy crash), and excess to be stored as BODY FAT.
A COMPLEX Carb, on the other hand, contains FIBER… It is more COMPLEX.
It breaks down SLOWER, not causing a spike in blood sugar,
giving your body more time to burn that Complex Carb for energy, instead of storing it as fat.
If you take your STARBODIES Fiber before a Simple Carbohydrate food or cocktail,
you now have ADDED FIBER and it almost tricks your body into thinking you are having
a Complex Carb (like broccoli which is a good carb because it has FIBER), and breaks down slowly,
not causing the sugar spike, the sugar crash, and fat storage.
Adding STARBODIES Fiber will help with weight loss by helping support healthy blood sugar levels,
by slowing the absorption rate of carbs and sugar, plus waste elimination.
