Muffin Top-Less

“Carbohydrates can be divided into two distinct groups: Simple and complex. The complex carbohydrates are comprised of long chains of sugars and require more time to be digested and broken down in the body. Simple carbs, as the name implies, are made of much shorter chains of sugars and are rapidly digested.

With a few exceptions, like recharging after a very demanding workout, complex carbohydrates are generally a much better choice. The slow digestion rate helps provide energy without the spikes of blood sugar typically associated with the consumption of simple carbs. Slower digestion also helps diminish the chance of an energy crash that often follows a spike.

Here are some great slow-burning carbs to try:

• Oatmeal
• Ezekiel Bread
• Sweet Potatoes
• Green Vegetables
