Summary
There is way too much confusion about carbohydrates. Too many people lump them all in the same category and act as if grams of carbs or calories are the only relevant factor. That's not the case.
Others act as if all carbs are "bad" - also not the case.
Some suggest that carbs are essential and even when pursuing fat loss we should consume multiple servings of quality carbs each day - that is untrue for most people.
Some people suggest that your metabolism works like an accounting system and we need to consume carbs in the morning if we wish to burn them off. That reflects a fundamental misunderstanding about metabolism and macronutrient utilization.
While it can be frustrating to hear conflicting opinions, I have some good news:
- Carb strategies for sustainable fat loss are not complex or difficult
- Your body will never lie about works & feels best for you
In today's episode we're clearing up the confusion and reviewing carbohydrate metabolism & storage for those seeking any degree of fat loss.

| 0:28.8 | I am Elizabeth Benton and I'm really excited about this episode. |
| 0:33.8 | I love the science stuff and I especially love talking about science in an area where |
| 0:41.8 | I get a lot of questions where I know there is a lot of confusion. |
| 0:46.3 | And for today, that is the topic of carbohydrates. |
| 0:51.4 | They are widely misunderstood and I've even put together a comprehensive e-course on |
| 0:57.6 | carbs strategies for fat loss. |
| 0:58.9 | I'll link it up in the show notes because there are so many misunderstandings about artificial |
| 1:04.5 | sweeteners and fruit and beans and whole food sources of carbohydrates versus processed |

| 1:20.8 | Talk to about all that stuff. |
| 1:22.5 | I want to really break it down because I continue to get a lot of questions about this. |
| 1:27.8 | So hopefully we can keep working, chipping away at it and increasing our level of understanding. |
| 1:32.8 | The reality is guys, even if we've heard something multiple times, it usually takes multiple |
| 1:38.4 | times for it to kind of sink in and oftentimes it's hearing it said in a slightly different |
