Simple carbs (fast carbs) are absorbed quickly and cause a significant insulin response.
Complex carbs (slow carbs) are absorbed more slowly, resulting in a smaller insulin response.
Insulin resistance develops when your body’s fat storage capacity (personal fat threshold) is exceeded, leading to fat stored in the liver and muscles. This causes your pancreas to release more insulin to maintain normal blood sugar levels.
Understanding Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are one of the three macronutrients, alongside fats and proteins.
Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose in the body.
