Carbohydrates - Part 1 - Clinical Nutrition

Part one of a complete overview of carbohydrates and your heath.

It's really all about metabolism ... NOT calories. People can eat more food and lose weight...

Calories are essentially energy.... fuel.

If your "flame" is only blazing at the rate of a candle you don't have much energy.

It's really about the rate that is broken down and enters the body...



Essential Carbohydrates -

Think of a string of pearls.... a long string would be a complex carbohydrate.. Mostly grains, starchy vegetables, etc. The string is saccyrides ....... this string needs to be broken down into monosacchrides - into smaller units.

With simple sugars you need to understand how quickly they enter the body....glucose gives us the energy. On a cellular level

Pituitary -

Organs are like a lamp... if there is a lot of glucose in the blood...

ATP - it is like a blast of pure raw energy


This is part one of an advanced nutrition lecture on the science of carbs. Topics discussed include weight loss, metabolism, calories, digestion, simple sugars vs. complex carbohydrates, refined sugar, diabetes, diets, low blood sugar, high blood sugar, etc.
