CARBS - Another Macronutrient

Carbohydrates are the main energy source of the body. 

They are chains of small, simple sugars that are broken down and enter the body as glucose.

Glucose is essential for the body, as it is the preferred source of energy in our brain, heart and central nervous system. For this reason, many dieticians recommend that our diets should consist of at least 45 to 65 percent carbohydrates.

BUT ... Medi Weightloss diet is a LOW CARB Diet and we should not exceed our allotted carbs in the early phases of this diet

 Carbohydrates are found in many foods. However, you should stay away from sweet foods with excess sugar.
 Instead, opt for healthier options like fruits, vegetables, beans and nuts, as well as whole grains. These foods also contain fiber.

Fiber cannot be digested by you body. However, fiber aids our intestine in expelling waste and can help lower cholesterol.
