Answers
Carbohydrates, or carbs, are one of three macronutrients that provide the body with energy. The other two are protein and fat. There are three major classes of carbs: Sugars: Individual sugar molecules or short chains of sugar molecules. These include glucose, fructose, galactose and sucrose Starches: Longer chains of carbohydrate molecules that need to be broken down in the digestive system. Fiber: Carbohydrates that the body cannot digest The primary function of carbs is to provide the body with energy. Most carbs are broken down into glucose in the digestive system and provide the body with fuel to perform essential functions. Each gram of carbs provides the body with four calories. The exception to this is fiber, which generally does not provide many calories. Bottom line: Carbohydrates are a macronutrient that provides the body with energy. Carbs include sugars, starches and fiber. No it is not good. When one goes on low crab diet he/she will lose weight.
