The 12 Best Things to Put In a Smoothie

Despite all the negative talk about carbs, your body needs them for energy, right along with proteins, fats, and micronutrients. The smart way to incorporate them into your diet is to choose the right carbs based on your needs. Athletes, for example, can benefit from simple carbs when they need to fuel their sport. Simple carbs are also useful for when blood sugars drop too low.

Complex carbs on the other hand are a smart choice for those with diabetes and those working on losing weight. They balance crazy blood sugar spikes and help keep your energy and hunger levels steady longer.

Below, we have a few tips on how to take control of your carb intake. They're useful whether you want to lose body fat or get your blood sugar numbers in check.
