#239: Should You Eat Carbohydrates?


Listen Later

If you're a carb lover, you've never felt so out of place in the health world. The low-carb diet is trending. Leaving you to wonder if you need to jump that train and how you'll possibly manage. Because carbs are life. But today I want to tell you, carbs aren't the enemy. In fact, they're necessary. The enemy is the power you give food. Before we get into that, let's break down why carbs aren't the enemy.

Carbohydrates are surrounded by a great deal of controversy in the health space. No matter what way you swing the argument, you can find research to back it up. That seems to be a trend in the health space, increasing confusion and pulling the attention we should be placed on our body onto new systems.

But the truth is, this subject isn't as dicey as the world has made it out to be. The better news, carbohydrates are a part of a healthy diet. In fact, they're essential. It's not the elimination you need, but the knowledge on what your body is doing with carbohydrates and how to tell how your body is using them.

Health is more than what you consume. It's how your body uses what you consume.

Don't focus so much on what you eat or what you shouldn't eat that you miss what your body needs. In most cases, 99.9% of them, your body needs healthy carbohydrates to a certain degree.

On this podcast, we dive into the science on carbohydrates, why your body needs them, the process of ketosis, and the real cause behind your drive for another flash diet. It's a good one and will give you arguing points to let go of the shame you might feel when you sink your teeth into that granola bar.

Making peace with carbs once and for all.
