Complex Carbohydrates

The Role Of Carbohydrates Your body converts ALL simple & complex carbs to Glucose Your body converts ALL simple & complex carbs to Glucose Glucose: a simple sugar that’s the main source of energy for our bodies Glucose: a simple sugar that’s the main source of energy for our bodies The glucose that is not used is stored in the liver and muscles as a starch-like substance called; glycogen. The glucose that is not used is stored in the liver and muscles as a starch-like substance called; glycogen. When your body needs more energy the glycogen is converted back to glucose. When your body needs more energy the glycogen is converted back to glucose. Excess carbs taken in and not used are converted to body fat Excess carbs taken in and not used are converted to body fat
