Many people think that carbohydrates only make you gain weight, and they might be right if they only focus on the simple ones. However, researchers from Harvard University point out that those who consume complex or whole carbohydrates lose weight faster.

It is very important for people to consume complex carbohydrates, because simple ones are processed by the body as body fat when they are not burned completely.

According to the National Institutes of Health in the United States, complex carbohydrates can be found in the following foods, which, if consumed in moderation, can help you burn fat.

Peas
Beans
Brown rice
Quinoa
Oats
Granola
Barley
Vegetables
Chickpeas
Lentils

Complex carbohydrates are converted into glucose in the body and are used as energy for the body and brain to function properly, but when not fully utilized, they are stored in the liver and muscles for future use.

Additionally, these foods that contain complex carbohydrates provide important vitamins and minerals for people's health.

So the intake of carbohydrates recommended by nutritionists is very important to come from complex (starches) and natural sugars.
