Welcome back. I am really excited about today's topic because I'm hoping that I can break down

some myths for you about carbohydrates. I decided to record this episode after getting a couple of emails from clients and potential clients on

carbohydrates and their thoughts about how they affected their body.

The first email was from a client where she explained

that she couldn't eat any fruits because it had sugar in it and it was bad for her.

And the second email was from a client who was starting next week,

and she explained that she didn't ever eat carbs

and she feared having carbs in the evening

or even at dinner because they were bad for her at dinner. They would just sit in her stomach

and make her gain weight. And both of these emails made me really sad because they're both wrong.

They're a complete misconception and a lack of understanding of how the body

uses carbs, how they can benefit the body, and then just simply what to be aware of.

The truth is a lot of the things we hear like this there is some truth to it, but it is taken to an extreme and creating fear-mongering around food that is ultimately good for us.

So I wanted to clarify that today. that is ultimately good for us.

So I wanted to clarify that today in a short and simple

and sweet podcast episode explaining simple carbs, complex carbs

when they are both beneficial for you and why you shouldn't fear either of

them for different reasons.

And if you find this episode helpful, I would love to hear from you.

I want to give a shout out to Julia Long.

This podcast has changed the way

that I think about all things wellness.
