7 Low Carb Foods To Indulge In If You’re Looking To Lose Some Holiday Weight

What is the purpose of carbohydrates (carbs) in a human body? In a layman’s term, carbs give energy to the body. When a person eats, the body splits the carbs from the food, uses some immediately and stores some in muscles and liver to be used later. If the body doesn’t use the stored carbs then they turn into fat.
