Summary
Let's talk about 5 common mistakes with carbs and cravings. I think we'd all agree that motivation & willpower can only go so far. If we're battling cravings, fat loss is a lot harder than it needs to be.
I have ZERO doubt that cravings can be eliminated. And if you're striving for fat loss & health, they should be.
In today's episode we're going to talk very specifically about 5 common mistakes & misunderstandings I see related to carbohydrates and cravings.
I want you to understand that carbohydrates are not bad. They aren't. In fact, if you look at my average meal plate (or that of most of my clients) you'll find that the majority of my plate is carbohydrates. What?!?! Yes! Non-starchy vegetables! Vegetables are carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are not the enemy.
They do not need to be eliminated for fat loss. It's not the carbohydrate that is the problem. It's lack of control of blood sugar & insulin that is the problem. When we don't control blood sugar, we set ourselves up for fat storage, low energy, cravings and hunger.

| 0:35.8 | addressing a lot of questions that have come up lately because the carbohydrate strategies |
| 0:43.8 | for fat loss e-course is back online. |
| 0:46.6 | You guys know I took it down on December 1st to move it over to a different platform |
| 0:50.7 | and make some changes. |
| 0:52.4 | And so this is just a big focus and I think part of the reason that so many questions |
| 0:57.5 | are coming in related to cravings and carbohydrates and carbohydrate strategies is because a lot |
| 1:03.8 | of us are still in that period of renewed motivation and focus to reach our goals in 2016. |
| 1:10.2 | And if you feel like maybe your year hasn't been off to the start that you intended or |

| 1:21.5 | It's done, it's gone, we are moving forward and every day is a new opportunity to have |
| 1:28.4 | a great day. |
| 1:29.4 | And it doesn't mean that every day will be a great day, it doesn't mean that every day |
| 1:33.0 | will feel like we made the choices we really wanted to make but we always have room for |
