LOW GLYCEMIC CARB'S burn slow and steadily, which keeps your metabolism active and continually burning until your next frequent meal.
HIGH GLYCEMIC CARB'S burn fast, which gives you a "quick fix" as your metabolism slows down just following it's quick breakdown.
FRUIT CARB'S also burn fast, which is only needed immediately after your workout or intense exercising to quickly replenish your glucose level.
SUGAR CARB'S burn the fastest, which spikes your insulin level and then drops the level quickly back down leaving you feeling very hungry.
