There's something called macronutrients, and macronutrients are things like proteins, and carbohydrates, and fats.
things like proteins and carbohydrates and fats macronutrients either help you burn fat
...one of the world’s most important carbohydrates...
So, a "balanced diet" is keeping fruits; vegetables; carbohydrates, like potatoes
have "carbohydrates" — because, yes, vegetables have carbohydrates, or
But I need to clarify exactly what sugar is and the difference between a sugar and a carbohydrate because there's a lot of confusion in the area of complex carbohydrates or simple carbohydrates or simple sugars. It's a big blur for a lot of people.

And I had read that oats is a good source of complex carbohydrates when mixed with whey.

Well, I think it was part of the processing thing. So taking out fiber is a great way to make foods more appealing, if you will. So what happens is that if you take flour, for example, and you have a lot of fiber in it, then the digestion is slowed. So what you get is a slower rise. So you take flour and you put a lot of fiber in it. Well, instead of having this huge spike in insulin, which you're going to get, it's a much slower spike in insulin. When you have a huge spike in insulin, it basically overloads your system. And it makes you feel, you know, gives you this big hit. Sort of like if you have like cocaine, for example. You know, it's turned into a very fine powder. Then you snort it. So you get this massive sort of spike. Same thing with, you know, carbohydrates. If you don't have any fiber, you pull all the fiber out by processing. You get this massive sort of unnatural spike in your body. It says, oh, that's great. It tastes great. I really love it. And you get people who are sort of addicted to it because that big spike is then going to release dopamine. And dopamine is the pleasure hormone. So you eat, you know, cookies or whatever highly processed foods, you get this sort of pleasurable response.
Well, mostly unprocessed foods. So things like beans. And if you're having, if you're eating whole grains, for example, compared to others, then it's going to have a reduction in the speed of absorption. So it's, again, not about the calories necessarily or even necessarily about the carbohydrates because you're still eating the same amount of carbohydrate, but you're slowing down the speed at which is absorbed, which is going to change the instructions that you give your body. If you have a massive spike in glucose, you get this massive dopamine surge, right? And your body's like, you'll love it. Then the next time you're like, okay, give me that refined carbohydrate. What about protein? Because we, we tend to think of protein as something that, you know, is super great for weight loss. Yeah. Protein is probably a sort of inter, it's not bad. I mean, the main thing is cutting down the carbohydrates, but, you know, in the obesity code, I really talk about cutting the processing down because proteins usually don't come as pure protein, right? In nature, you never find like, you know, how you have like whey powder protein or whatever you get. The only way you can do that is by processing the heck out of food to get some kind of pure protein. It doesn't exist in nature. Like it almost doesn't exist. And maybe there's a few examples, but when you eat meat, you think, okay, there's a lot of protein, but that's actually a lot of fat in there too, right? If you eat anything else that has protein, it's rarely all protein, you know, very lean meats like chicken breast and stuff are going to be higher in protein, but there's still a lot of other stuff in there. And it's very rare that somebody will eat just all pure a hundred percent protein. It tends to be hard to eat. Like the fat brings a lot of flavor and so on. So it's a bit of an unnatural way to eat. Sure. If you, if you're to eat a lot of protein, it does spike insulin. So it does have some effect to gain weight, but it's actually a very inefficient macronutrient. That is your, there's three macronutrients.
We've got carbohydrates, protein, fruit, veg, and dairy.

The Golgi body does this by folding the proteins into usable shapes or adding other materials onto them, such as lipids or carbohydrates.

Carbohydrates are the main source of calories, or energy, in the diet.
