Summary
Want to know how to eat carbs without getting fat? Today's episode is all about what happens when you eat carbs and strategies for eating them in a way that reduces the chances they'll be converted to & stored as fat. Plus, we'll talk about the common mistakes that create an internal environment where even small amounts of carbs you consume are converted to & stored as fat.
Carbs aren't bad. That's just not true. The flip side of that is that they are not an essential fuel source, despite what you might have heard. They are, however, quite yummy and can be enjoyed in a way that doesn't lead to weight gain. We're clearing all this up in today's episode so don't miss it!

| 1:04.2 | We talked about how carbs aren't bad, right? |
| 1:07.1 | They aren't nutritionally essential either, but it's not this binary either. |

| 1:32.6 | Alternatively, there are ways to consume carbs where they are almost sure to be converted |
