There’s a lot of confusion out there about carbohydrates and low GI (glycaemic index) foods. You don’t need to cut carbs to be healthy — you just need to choose the right kinds!
🥖 Low GI carbohydrates (like oats, barley, lentils, brown rice, and low GI breads) are digested more slowly, helping to:
✅ Keep your energy levels steady throughout the day
✅ Support balanced blood sugar levels
✅ Feed your gut with enough fibre to keep it happy and healthy
🚫 Skipping carbs can leave you feeling tired, cranky, and craving sugar later on.
👉 The key? Choose quality carbs — think wholegrains, fruit, veggies, and legumes — not refined, sugary ones.
