Non-PRO (2): writeaway, Cetacea
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

slow-burning carbohydtares/fast-burning carbohydrates
Plenty of refs here for "fast-burning carbs", all in this very context (Glycaemic index/load) and slimming/burning fat - which is what, in the end, this is all about

Sorry!!

that depends whether you're talking about the sugar consumed in the food we eat, or the sugar that this is transformed into in the body (glucose, also a simple sugar). The food we eat contains sugar (slow and fast release) which we use to make glucose (absorbed in the body). For a slimming document, I imagine they are talking about the kind of sugars we consume in our diet.

I think the document is referring to the sugar we consume as part of our diet, not the sugars out body manufactures...

: Yes, in nutrition we do indeed talk about 'slow-release'; as a diabetic myself, I can confirm this!
