Listen Later

Cutting carbohydrates from one's diet has long been a popular way for people to lose weight and achieve their ideal bodies. This is the reason why cauliflower has taken over the world.

Yet, what people should know is that carbohydrates are essential in helping you build your desired body. In fact, not getting enough carbohydrates may prevent you from getting the body you want.

That’s why, in this episode of Embrace Your Real podcast, I’m going to share the importance of carbohydrates for building the body you want. In fact, I’m going to share 5 reasons why you should start to love carbs. 

 

What I discuss:

  1. Carbs are your main energy source for intense physical activities.

  2. Carbs are required in the process of muscle repair and growth.

  3. Carbs help with healthy hormone regulation.

  4. Carbs also with healthy mood regulation.

  5. Low carb diets lead to poor digestion which causes inflammation, boating, and a slow metabolism.

And BONUS 6: Sustainability. If you have to deprive yourself, you’re not going to stick with it long term.
