What is Complex carbs? What is the difference and how will I know what carbs I am eating.

Complex cards is a term refering to whole grains, such as whole grain bread (whole wheat)....oatmeal, fruits, and so forth. Processed foods such as white bread spike your blood sugar as they are digested quickly within the stomach. Whole grain foods require 1) more energy to digest 2) will not digest so quickly as to raise your blood sugar.
The rise in blood sugar plays a large roll in fat storage as i understand it...someone correct me if i'm wrong, but foods high in sugar seem to digest quickly and be more readily stored as fat.

All the advice given above is great. Hope that works out and you see encouraging results.

Ok it’s been a week. I have not had any fast food. I only drank water this whole week. I feel good. Just need help on my diet. Could someone help me in making a diet up that would help me lose my weight? Here is what I did Mon - Sat

Mon
6:30 Woke up for work I made 4 eggs with a tiny bit of ketchup
12:00 Lunch I had a cup of noodles 2 banana's and 1 orange (After I ate the cup of noodles I looked at the label I wanted to throw up that has so much Salt. No more for me)
6:30 Dinner I had 2 BBQ hamburgers (home made) with a salad

Tue

When I start the diet should I also be drinking protein shakes? If so is Whey chocolate suitable. I am planning on working out at least 4 times a week. What days would be best?

Would you recommend me taking fat burners? Something like Levorex?

Thanks for the help.
