Video Transcript

"Carbohydrates and your energy metabolism are very important to understand. A lot of people believe that they are addicts of carbohydrates, that is not necessarily true. Humans are biologically driven to eat carbohydrates; it's what we do naturally. It is the most optimal source of energy for our brains and it is the most optimal energy source for almost all of the functions that are going on in our bodies throughout the day and even when we're sleeping. So without carbohydrates our energy metabolism can not function properly. People who often experience a lot of fatigue may not be getting enough carbohydrates through the day. They might be having mood swings and feeling just real low on energy so if you are having some difficulties with your energy levels. And you are not quite sure how much carbohydrates you should be consuming or what types of carbohydrates you should be consuming, you might want to consult your dietitian. "
