Complex Carbs
Usually, for improving stamina and energy, it is recommended a diet containing complex carbs. Even if some of low carb diets recommend themselves as a way to help you achieve the body you want, they normally cost a fortune and do not represent an option for those who want to follow a diet for a long time. In addition to proteins, complex carbs can help you in acquiring a high energy level.
According to professionals, complex carbs are actually a molecule composed by lots of other sugar molecules. Before starting a diet based on complex carbs, it is necessary to make some research, to decide which carbs are good for you and which are not. Beside that, you also have to find out which are simple carbs and which are complex carbs. For example, The Glycemic Index owns the answer and can help you out with that. For instance, some of the most healthy carbs are veggies, fruits, pasta, wheat and oatmeal. Of course, these are not the only ones.
As I said before, to the good of your health, I recommend you eating complex carbs. They are full of fiber, minerals and vitamins. The simple carbs won't do too much, but make you eat more than it is needed, if consumed in high amounts.
Complex carbs are also a way to avoid diabetes or obesity, which is another reason for you to consume them. Moreover, not eating enough complex carbs will make you feel dead-alive and also will put on you some weight. I am sure that is not what you want. Am I right?
Anyway, even if foods rich in complex carbs must be eaten, there is a time when you have to abstain from. That happens when your glycogen level is low. Now, injecting insulin is recommended, because the carbohydrates will be rapidly absorbed by your cells. Even if I said before that simple carbs are not suggested to work for those who want to follow a lasting diet, officially, we still do not know which of these two is the best. It depends from case to case, according to everyone's body. Therefore, you will have to see which type of carbs works for you. It is reported that the best solution is to start by injecting insulin and analyze your body's response.
In the end, I have to say that eating the right food for you is the best way to keep healthy, even if it is about simple carbs or complex carbs. So, before starting a diet, ask opinions and do a research.
