MMMMM! CARBS!

There is a lab that we did recently in class that shows you how to find out whether or not the carb is a Mono, Di, or Poly saccharide.  And it was interesting, but i honestly can't remember exactly how to classify them but i did get some other knowledge from it.  The carbs, when you eat em', they can be stored in different ways depending one time place and quantity.  If you stock up on carbs before you go to bed, then they will usually be stored as fat. But, when you eat the same way in the morning, then your body has all day for it to burn them off as energy.  Not eating enough carbs will lead your body to go after your fat storage for energy.   To add, people that go on the low carb diet, to even no carb diet to loose weight tend to be really tired and groggy.  Know why?  It's because they are depleting their body of the best source of energy found within food.  low carb diets sound like they suck because of this, so i wouldn't recommend going on it.  Also, when you play the toot flute, carbs have allot to do with that as well.  when your body digests the carbs or proteins as well, theres a toxic gas that derives from the digestion process your body doesn't want to hold on too.  So then it gets excreted.  Thats what i learned from the carbohydrate section of the class.  Enjoy your carbs all.
