Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates have, unfairly, a bad reputation. We believe that carbohydrates are actually indispensable for athletes, as we get most of our energy from carbohydrates. So if you want to use a workout effectively, above all you should not leave them out, but focus on eating the good, so-called complex carbohydrates, found in whole grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables, among others. If you opt for complex carbohydrates, the fibres make you feel satiated for longer and keep your body supplied with energy throughout the day. Plus, they keep your blood sugar stable and provide essential vitamins and minerals that keep your body fit.
