The Problem With Consuming Empty Carbs
What exactly is the problem with consuming empty carbs?

Empty carbs are carbs that have been processed and stripped of most
of their nutritional value and fiber content. They are found in all
white flours and its pastries, processed grains (which have the outer
layer removed), pastas, sweeteners of all kinds (including sugar -
brown and white, honey, syrups of all kinds - even the natural ones)
juices and soft drinks.
Why is that a problem??
In the absence of fiber, there is no moderation of the rate in which
sugar enters the blood, and a roller coaster begins: A sharp rise in
blood sugar is soon followed by a sharp drop. From a subconscious point
of view, this sharp drop is interpreted as "hunger, emergency and a threat
to survival". A message is immediately sent to the body to eat and supply
itself with energy to survive. And what contains the most available energy?
Sweet stuff!!! That’s when we feel the craving for another cookie, chocolate,
a slice of bread or tiramisu, and drink another cup of coffee with two
sugars.... etc. Yummy? Without a doubt! Healthy? not really.
