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. So it's completely understandable that beginners feel clueless and rudderless due to the lack of any rational guidance about carbohydrates.

I will reveal to you in this two-part article, how to determine which carbohydrates you should include in your belly fat burning diet and how to implement them. To keep things easy to understand, this will be a broad examination of carbohydrates.

To begin... what the hell is a carbohydrate?

Carbohydrate is sugar... plain and simple.

Whether you consume a plate of spaghetti noodles, a bowl of grapes or a chocolate bar, carbohydrates 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 carbohydrates eventually end up the same, when it comes to burning belly fat, how they become the final end product is the most important part.

Your body makes fuel from foods containing carbohydrates. Basically, it takes the carbohydrates, digests them and breaks them down into glucose which is released into the bloodstream to be used as fuel. The main difference amongst different carbohydrate sources is the speed at which the sugars are broken down for use.

Some carbohydrates are released promptly into the blood while others raise blood sugar levels by gradually being released.

It's extremely important to keep blood sugar balanced and consistent if you want to burn belly fat while keeping your fuel levels high.

Why?

It's all related to insulin, which is a hormone that controls the amount of sugar in the blood stream by moving it into the cells of the body.

When you consume carbohydrates that are broken down promptly, the body must release a large amount of insulin in order to compensate. Resulting in lower than normal blood sugar levels, sugar is removed from the bloodstream by the insulin.

Tiredness, fatigue and hunger pains are all products of low blood sugar levels which leads to binge eating.

In addition, high levels of insulin increase the body's rate of belly fat storage. Belly fat cannot be converted to fuel when insulin levels are high because the level of enzymes in your body rise to prevent belly fat mobilization.

To put it simply...

You end up in a roller coaster of escalating blood sugar levels followed by dramatic crashes when you consume carbohydrates that raise blood sugar levels can be. If your ability to burn belly fat is slowed, your fuel levels are thrown completely for a loop, your appetite grows and your mood swings.

When consuming carbohydrates, your main goal should be to keep your blood sugar levels balanced This is accomplished by focusing on food sources that are broken down and released gradually into the bloodstream.

Your fuel levels will remain high, your appetite will remain under control and your body will continually burn belly fat when you maintain steady blood sugar levels.

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.
