You often hear of Carbs as bad in a diet. in fact, they are just like any other nutrient; you need a certain amount. This is because carbohydrate refers to any sugar, such as sucrose or glucose. these compounds are broken down by the mitochondria in your cells to make ATP, which is the primary source of energy in your body. This means that your body can't perform ANY of its functions without carbohydrates. They hold the power that makes your heart beat and makes your brain operate. So while too many can make one overweight, they are necessary for living.
