Understanding Carbs
The body uses carbohydrate compounds for energy. They are found in almost every type of food you eat. All carbohydrates are made up of individual molecules. There are two different types. The first is the most basic of carbohydrates which includes the sugar you put in your tea. This 'simple' carbohydrate consists of just one or two of these molecules.
The other more complex carbohydrate is found within starchy foods. These are made up of a number of sugar molecules joined together. These are found in bread, pasta and rice, as well as some types of fruit and vegetable.
Why do I need carbohydrates?
Carbohydrates are your body's most important source of energy. When you eat a carbohydrate, it's broken down by your digestive system into single molecules of glucose (which is the main form of fuel for your body). The glucose is then circulated in your blood to every cell within your body.
If you don't consume enough carbohydrates within your diet, your body will begin to break down fat followed by protein, to get the glucose it needs. Protein is vital for your body to be able to grow and repair, so using it as an energy source leaves little protein to carry out these vital functions. Eating enough carbohydrate will prevent this.
Which carbs are good? Which are bad?
Carbohydrates are not as fattening as has been suggested. It's not good to consume too much, but if you eat more carbohydrates than your body can burn off as energy, your body's glucose stores will become saturated and the excess will be converted to fat. So in this case, your body will begin to put on weight. But removing them from the diet is not a viable option as carbohydrates are an essential part of a healthy diet. The key is picking the right type of carbohydrates as some carbohydrates are healthier than others.
The bad:
Sugary foods such as cakes and biscuits are high in fat, but do not contain many other useful nutrients. They contribute to your energy intake but have little other value. Not only that, but sugary foods contain a lot of calories. It's therefore best to limit your intake of sugary foods and stick to starchy foods.
The good:
Generally the best starchy carbohydrates are wholegrain foods including bread, pasta and cereal. Wholegrains contain a host of important nutrients that are considered to reduce your risk of heart disease and bowel cancer. Wholegrains are also more likely to keep you feeling fuller for longer – as they normally take longer to digest than processed foods and contain more fibre. This factor helps to control your appetite, helping you to maintain a healthy weight.

How does Biocarb work?
Biocarb contains the innovative new complex called PhaseLite. PhaseLite works to prevent carbohydrate digestion, and when this happens, fewer carbohydrates are digested and broken down into glucose to be absorbed within the body. These undigested carbohydrates are then instead excreted in the stool.
Carbohydrates provide an essential source of energy to our bodies. But over indulging on any foods, especially starchy carbohydrates such as bread, potatoes and pasta can be a major cause of weight gain.
A diet rich in carbohydrates can disrupt the balance of the body's blood sugar level, which results in changes in energy and mood. Biocarb can also help even out these energy spikes and slumps, which in turn will boost your willpower to succeed.
Biocarb helps to fight the effects of a carb-rich diet when combined with a reasonable approach to eating and undertaking exercise.
Why take Biocarb?
Carbohydrates are an ideal energy source when eaten in the right proportions. They appear as two types (both starchy and sugary), otherwise known as complex and simple carbohydrates. Both types of carbohydrate occur naturally but also in processed foods. To undertake a healthy diet, being selective in choosing those carbohydrates we eat is paramount.
As a rule, complex carbohydrates provide a slower and more sustained release of energy than simple carbohydrates. So it is the natural starchy carbohydrates that play a key role in good health and in dealing with your appetite and energy levels.
Refined and sugary (simple) carbohydrates are converted into glucose much more quickly than complex, which cause significant blood sugar peaks, followed by an unavoidable low which can lead to hunger pains and mood swings.
Carbohydrates explained:
• Natural sugary carbohydrates are found in fruit & vegetables
• Refined sugary carbohydrates include biscuits & fizzy drinks
• Natural starchy carbohydrates include brown rice & brown bread
• Refined starchy carbohydrates include white rice & white bread
The body uses these natural & refined carbohydrates in different ways
All carbohydrates are broken down by the body into glucose which is then converted into energy. The most important thing about carbohydrates is the rate at which it is digested, and the slower the rate, the better, as this leads to more stable energy levels and fewer hunger pains.
However, excess glucose is also stored in our liver or fat tissue for later use. So if we consume more food than we need throughout the day, this extra energy will continue to be unused and can lead to weight gain.
Biocarb is therefore ideal for over indulgent carb eaters as it reduces calorie intake of both simple & complex carbohydrates and thus helps to minimise food cravings.
