Myth Busting – Carbs are Fine as Long as you Eat Them at the Right Time

Myth Busting Carbs are Fine as Long as you Eat
Them at the Right Time

Maybe Just a Little Wouldnt Hurt
Imagine the scenario youre very disciplined
about your diet and avoid sweets, but a co-worker
is celebrating a birthday and everyone else is
going to have a piece of cake. While you
typically deny the urge to indulge, you figure
just this once perhaps it wouldnt hurt to have
just one piece.

Youve heard that if you time the eating of carbs
right, then you wont put on weight. You havent
eaten since lunch, and that was several hours
ago, so now is the perfect time for a little
sugary treat, right? Wrong! Theres no such thing
as the perfect timing for simple carbs such as
sugar and flour. Your body will feel the negative
effects of bombarding it with this toxic sugar
bomb, and most of that birthday treat will turn
into fat regardless of timing. But why?

Throwing Your Body Into Overdrive
When you consume simple carbohydrates like white
rice, white bread, pastas made from white flour,
carbonated beverages, fruit juice, and yes, even
that small slice of celebratory birthday cake,
you are consuming something that will convert to
pure sugar in your bloodstream within a matter of
minutes and you will pay the price.
5
Foods with a high glycemic index create a
notable body response. The glycemic index
measures how a food impacts blood sugar.
Generally speaking, foods that have a
disproportionate amount of sugar relative to
their size have a high glycemic index. When foods
with a high glycemic index are consumed, the body
reacts, and reacts swiftly. Within minutes of
consuming simple carbs, your body immediately
goes into overdrive, doing everything it can to
handle those carbs. You may feel flushed,
slightly nauseous. Your heart may begin to beat
more rapidly. You may even begin to sweat. Your
body may be a finely-tuned machine, but its not
cut out for the sugar load youve just dumped on
it and as your body attempts to process the
sugar, much of that sugar will be absorbed out of
the bloodstream by fat cells, helping your body
to create more fat.

The Bodys Response to Carbs
Lets take a look at why your body responds the
way it does to foods with a high ghlycemic index
and why carbohydrates can have such a devastating
impact on the body.
7
When carbs are consumed, within minutes, the body
goes to work trying to process them. Carbs are
converted to sugar, or glucose, in the
bloodstream and as a result, blood sugar spikes.
The pancreas goes into overdrive, sending a rush
of insulin into the bloodstream in an attempt to
counter-balance the spike in blood sugar that
occurs when simple carbs are consumed. A small
amount of sugar may go into the muscles if your
glycerin stores are in short supply, but in
reality, the majority of the sugar will be
converted into fat. So the rush of sugar has come
and gone quickly, the insulin produced by your
body sent the sugar to the muscles or the fat
cells, now what? Now your blood sugar is going to
crash. You went from a high blood sugar to a low
blood sugar in a short amount of time. When this
happens, youre going to feel tired and hungry,
setting the stage for you to indulge again and
repeat the cycle your body just endured.

Converting Sugar to Fat
A lot of people assume it is fat that makes us
fat and that fat is the quickest and easiest
thing for our bodies to store in our fat cells,
but this is not true. For starters, the typical
diet is much higher in carbohydrates than fats.
Additionally, it is a much simpler process for
the body to take excess sugar from the blood
stream and store it in fat cells where it is
converted into fat. When foods with a high
glycemic index are consumed, theres simply no
way for your body to process that efficiently.
Little of it can actually be used by the body in
a healthy way, thus the majority is stored and
converted into fat. Once those carbs are
converted into fat, it will take significantly
more effort to shed the excess fat than it did to
acquire it because the body goes into a
protective mode when we attempt to burn fat.

Are There Really Good Carbs?
The good news in all of this is that not all
carbohydrates are evil, just as not all fats are
evil. There are two types of carbohydrates
simple and complex. The simple carbohydrates,
such as white bread, white rice, sugar, pasta
made from white flour and sugary drinks are the
carbs which wreak the most havoc on the body.
These are the ones that put your body in a
tailspin as your pancreas pumps out excessive
amounts of insulin trying to process them.
10
The complex carbohydrates, such as brown rice,
whole wheat bread, and wheat pasta have a low
glycemic index, and as a result, they are
processed by the body in a gradual and steady
manner that does not result in the blood sugar
spike caused by simple carbs. In the absence of
the sudden spike in blood sugar, the pancreas
supplies a gradual and steady supply of insulin,
allowing your body to process the complex
carbohydrates more efficiently, making it more
likely the body can burn these for fuel, as
opposed to turning them into fat. Bad
carbohydrates, the simple carbohydrates, are
typically found in the highly processed foods and
should be avoided as much as possible due to the
negative effects on your body. The good
carbohydrates, the complex carbohydrates, those
typically found in less processed and more
natural foods, can be part of a healthy diet when
consumed in moderation.
