For the past few weeks, Olympic diver Tom Daley’s been supplying us with health tips and tricks in a set of videos, along with marvelous glimpses of his shirtless body. We’ve had lemons, coffee showers, and now… Tom’s back to talk about the body’s fuel source – carbohydrates.
“Carbs are not the devil!“, Tom declares, and avoiding them completely would actually hurt your diet. A few of the things we’ve learned from the video:
- Carbs are our primary energy source
- You will feel fatigued without carbs
- Not all carbs are alike – there are simple and complex carbs. You should have more of the complex type
- It’s really hard to get off the sugar train, but sugary treats every now and then are important
- If you cut carbs completely, you’ll lose concentration
- Tom Daley is a sugary treat himself with those adorable glasses
