   It is a common belief that eating even low amounts of carbohydrates increases body weight, whether the carbs are from sugar, bread, fruits or vegetables. The reason for this misconception may be that eating carbohydrates raises insulin, which then lowers blood sugar. Low sugar increases appetite so a person ends up eating more. Considering this, some people advocate signifi cant reduction of carbohydrates in their diet. However, diets low in carbohydrates are likely to lack essential nutrients from plant foods, so people may not get enough vitamins, minerals and fi ber. Athletes often follow a carbohydrate-loading diet, which involves increasing the amount of carbohydrates for several days before a high-intensity endurance athletic event. Carbohydrates are one of the most important sources of energy for the human body. Foods containing carbohydrates can’t be cut off a healthy diet because they provide fi ber, sugars, and starches, which supply energy to the body in the form of glucose (blood sugar), which is the energy source for human cells, tissues, and organs.
