It is however, very important to consume and appropriate amount of good quality carbohydrates.
Try and avoid anything processed or unnatural. E.G: cake, candy, sweets, biscuits, bread, pasta, soda, alcohol.
Stick to real foods. E.G carrot, banana, potato, spinach, olives etc.
Food should come from a farm not a factory!!
And don't forget Protein and Fat should be included with every meal along with carbohydrates to give you all the necessary macro and micro nutrients required for good health.
