06.01.2022 'Empty' calories Good quality carbohydrates are the basic of cellular function: they give energy, help raise serotonin (a 'feel-good' neuro-transmitter) and in Chinese Medicine, are an important source of Qi or vital energy. Carbohydrates themselves do not pose a problem for weight gain. It is when carbohydrate are 'empty', in the sense that they contain no nutrients, only calories, that there is a problem. Empty calories come from refined carbohydrates: refined flour and ...sugars in pastries, cakes and biscuits, ice cream, and these carbohydrates tempt us to keep on eating because the nutrients the body needs are not in them, so the body continues to crave more food. However, if we are eating complex carbohydrates, from wholemeal flour, brown rice, etc, then the desire to eat is less because we feel satisfied. People eat a great volume when their food is nutrient deficient and this is where the risk of gaining weight lies. They are eating 'empty' calories. See more
