Don’t get weighed down by carbs

We are all lead busy lives which means many of us eat lunch on-the-go, or during a lunch hour. Something quick, convenient and fuss-free is generally what we look for. 

However, a typical lunch – such as a sandwich and bag of crisps – can weigh you down with carbs and leave you feeling lethargic and sleepy. And of course, if your body doesn’t burn off these carbs, it will store them as fat.
