Compared to single and double sugars, complex carbohydrates have a more complex molecular structure, which takes longer to digest the carbohydrates into digestible glucose through digestive work. Glucose is the smallest unit of carbohydrates. Although simple sugars have their raison d'être, most of the intake should consist mainly of complex carbohydrates. Multiple sugar must first be broken down in the small intestine, which makes the release of glucose into the blood slower and more even. As a result, the blood sugar level rises only slowly and remains constant over a longer period of time. Accordingly, insulin produced by the pancreas can slowly degrade the carbohydrate (glucose) in the blood without requiring high concentrations in the short term. This spares the body hunger pangs, so that even adhering to a diet plan is much easier to keep up.
Another benefit of complex carbohydrates in weight loss is that the body needs energy to break down the carbohydrate chains and utilize the glucose and the vitamins, minerals and trace elements it contains.
In particular, whole grains such as bread, pasta and rice contain plenty of complex carbohydrates. But also foods like oatmeal, quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat or potatoes are especially rich in complex carbohydrates. It is always worthwhile to access this selection.
