Storing carbohydrates?

Someone told me that your body can only store carbohydrates if you eat meat with them. Now, to me that sounds like a load of bull but i have been wrong before. So my question is this: is it true? and what food contain large amounts of carbohydrates?

Carbohydrates protect the protein. Protein builds muscles, nails, repairs body tissue and supplies energy.

You need some carbohydrates but not too many. It's best to get carbohydrates from whole grains, whole grain cereal, brown rice, potatoes (plain) in small amounts and vegetables. Carbohydrates from white flour, white pasta, white bread, white rice, french fries, chips, junk food, etc. are bad for you and will make you fat. Sugar does the same thing.

If you want to be in good shape, try to eat a serving of protein at the same time as you eat a serving of carbohydrate. Have a salad with a piece of lean meat or salmon.

Eating just carbohydrates will make your blood sugar level go WAY up because you release a lot of insulin at once to digest it. Your blood sugar does the job and then comes WAY down fast and makes you tired and hungry.
If you eat protein with the carbohydrate, it slows the blood sugar's rise and fall which doesn't make you really tired or hungry so quickly. Also if you eat GOOD carbohydrates (look for foods low on the Glycemic index http://www.glycemicindex.com/ ) they won't cause the blood sugar to rise and fall as fast as bad carb would.

Example A: a plate of plain spaghetti = bad carb
You would feel tired and hungry shortly after eating it

vs.

Example B: a plate of broccoli = good carb
you would feel full longer and have more energy

It would be better to eat the spaghetti with meat sauce (protein) and the broccoli with some cheese (protein).

It is a load... but things like artificial sweeteners and high fructose corn syrup will.

what moran would be asking tht question

No your body does not store carbs. In the presence of carbohydrates, your body will store fat because your body will choose to burn carblhydrates as fuel, first. Get rid of the carbs then your body will burn the fats that are in storage.
