Complex Carbohydrates
Unlike simple carbohydrates these aren’t easily broken down and
absorbed into the bloodstream as quickly.
Because they are complex in structure take longer to break down and
are released gradually, not instantly into the bloodstream. This means
that they provide a steady, stable source of energy and because they
are slow releasing have a chance to be burned off rather than stored
as fat.
