Carbohydrate, the full name is "carbohydrate", also known as "sugar" or "sugar". It should be noted that "sugar" mentioned here is not equal to "sugar" in daily context. When we usually say sugar, we mean candy, ordinary sugar, maltose and other foods that can taste sweet. Sugar here refers to carbohydrates, which are organic compounds containing polyhydroxyaldehydes or ketones.

According to the size of molecular structure and solubility in water, it can be divided into monosaccharide, disaccharide and polysaccharide. Monosaccharide and disaccharide are generally sweet, that is, "sugar" in the daily context mentioned above. And polysaccharide, mainly refers to starch, is the main component of grain.

Carbohydrate is one of the most important energy sources for human activities, and the other two are fat and protein. But the energy provided by protein is limited, and the main energy sources of the body are carbohydrates and fats. If you eat too much carbohydrate, it will be converted into fat and stored. Therefore, how to control the intake of carbohydrates does seriously affect the quality of weight loss, but it is not a simple solution to the weight loss problem by "cutting off carbon" or "supplementing carbon from time to time".

If you are a novice athlete, because your body has not exercised for a long time, once you exercise, your body needs to stop adapting for a period of time. The length of this adaptation period is about two to three months, and it is also called "novice welfare period" by many people. During this period, the fitness of the body to exercise dominates the quality of exercise effect. The more active and hard the exerciser is, especially taking part in aerobic exercise, even if the diet (including carbohydrates) is not controlled, the weight and body fat rate will be obviously improved. If the exerciser can control the diet at the same time, the weight loss effect will be better. Therefore, for beginners, exercise to lose weight and control carbohydrate intake are more powerful measures.

If you are an old hand at sports, your body used to be very adaptable to sports. At this time, controlling carbohydrates has a very significant impact on the effect of reducing fat. The higher the athlete's exercise ability, the higher the requirement for body fat rate and the higher the requirement for carbohydrate control. Interesting friends can learn about how athletes who participate in fitness competitions control their diet in the last month's preparation period, and they will know how much the control of carbohydrates affects the body fat rate. It's just that ordinary people don't have to be so hard on themselves.
