More than any other nutrient in the world, carbs are surrounded by more hype, contradiction and confusion.

When it comes to carbohydrate consumption, there has been an endless amount of debate, hundreds of fad diets and thousands of rules put into place over the last decade. Without sensible guidance with regards to carbs, the average fitness beginner has absolutely no clue how to deal with carbs.

I will reveal to you in this two-part article, how to determine which carbs you should include in your belly fat burning diet and how to implement them. This will simply be a broad, overall examination of the topic in order to keep things as easy to understand for you as possible.

First, let's determine what a carbohydrate is exactly.

Simply put... it's sugar.

Whether you consume a plate of spaghetti noodles, a bowl of grapes or a chocolate bar, carbs will always eventually be broken down into their simplest form: glucose.

Glucose's main function is to provide the fuel for your brain and muscles to work properly. Even though all carbs eventually end up the same, when it comes to burning belly fat, how they become the final end product is the most important part.

Glucose is released into the bloodstream to be used as fuel after you eat fruits containing carbs and the carbs are digested and broken down. How speedily carbs are broken down into glucose are what differentiate them between one another.

Some carbs are broken down and release speedily and sharply into the bloodstream while others more gradually raise blood sugar levels.

As a person looking to get rid of belly fat and maintain high levels of fuel for your workouts, your primary goal when consuming carbs is simple: keep blood sugar levels consistent and balanced.

Why?

It all comes down to insulin. Insulin is a hormone that regulates sugar in the bloodstream and allows your body's cells to absorb it.

Simple carbs are broken down speedily and therefore require large amounts of insulin to absorb them into the cells. Resulting in lower than normal blood sugar levels, sugar is removed from the bloodstream by the insulin.

Binge eating, fatigue and tiredness and hunger pains are all caused by lowest blood sugar levels.

The bodies rate of belly fat storage is also increased when levels of insulin rise. The rise in enzymes that prevent belly fat mobilization are caused when insulin levels increase means that your belly fat cannot be converted to fuel.

To put it simply...

When you eat carbs like sugar that raise blood sugar levels speedily, it's like being on a roller coaster... you'll suffer from extreme highs and extreme lows. This throws your mood, appetite and especially your fuel levels out of whack and blocks your ability to get rid of belly fat .

When consuming carbs, your main goal should be to keep your blood sugar levels balanced To keep your blood sugar levels balanced, focus on foods that are digested and gradually released into the bloodstream.

By always maintaining steady blood sugar levels, your body will remain in a continual belly fat burning state, your fuel levels will remain peaked and your appetite will be kept under control.

We have now established what the goal of proper carbohydrate consumption is, and in Part Two we will discuss which specific sources can help you achieve that goal.
