good carbohydrates

What are Carbohydrates? Carbohydrates are the primary sources for our energy, a macro-component that consists of fibers and sugars and translates into such foods as rice, pasta, bread, and cereal. Ideally, carbohydrates should consist of 40 percent of your daily calorie intake, with another 30 percent focusing on proteins and the remaining 30 percent coming from "good" fats like omega-3 or flaxseed oils. Many people dive into their new diets with blinders on. They assume that eating  nothing but salads is the key to losing weight. Yet, if your body is not provided with sufficient doses of carbohydrates, your energy will be sapped and your carb-starved body will reflect the results.
