in How To Eat Right on How To Split An Atom
/Carbohydrates

Carbohydrate’s are what will keep you going in the long term. Unlike Sugar, it usually takes your body between two and four hours to process Carbs into glucose, which means that this is a long term energy solution. The nice thing about Carbs it that you can avoid the spike and crash that sugar often produces. No matter what your buddies over on the Atkins side of the fence tell you, Carbs are your friends — as long as you consume them in moderation./


While I do agree with many of the things said, I have to say that not differentiating between refined and unrefined carbs is sloppy.
White refined flour, while being a source of carbs, will not provide you with long time energy, it is essentially as bad as refined sugar. Now, if we are talking about 'keep going long term' energy, natural unrefined carbs as in whole wheat, fruit and vegetables is what you want.
