Your body NEEDS fuel to provide you with the energy you need to carry out your daily routine. The main energy source for the human body is glucose. Glucose comes from the break down of carbohydrates that we ingest.

WE NEED CARBOHYDRATES! Unless you follow a Keto diet, or have been recommended to avoid carbs by a dietician, you should not avoid carbohydrates in your diet.

However, you can choose healthy carbohydrates, such as: Brown rice, whole-wheat pasta, wholegrain breads, oats, beans, pulses and fruit as these provide much needed vitamins and minerals as well as energy.
