Carbohydrates are just sugar your body has to work a little bit to unlock first, but they’re just sugar. They’re really not much better for you than raw sugar, they’re just slow dose. They’ll spike your insulin a little less, but ask a diabetic, the overall difference isn’t a ton.
Fiber is a carbohydrate the body can’t digest so you can generally subtract them when figuring, but beyond that carbohydrates alone are just sugar as far as your body is concerned.

- hashmal 3y agoSo basically you're advocating for a keto diet for everyone and every time? That's silly. Carbs are not intrinsically bad. Also, all sugars are carbs but all carbs aren't sugar. Don't take shortcuts.
- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> Carbs are not intrinsically bad No, but most people shouldn’t be consuming it as a ritual.
- Loic 3y agoYou are definitely not French :-) Food preparation and lunch is a ritual for us. But, I will also add that in the primary school we had to learn how to balance a diet over a full week. Because you cannot balance on a single day...
- Scarblac 3y agoBut the fiber content makes you feel sated sooner, so you are likely to eat less of it than sugar. And musli isn't processed as much as other breakfast cereals. We don't know what causes it yet, but there's a clear correlation between eating highly processed foods and obesity.
