Summary
Are carbohydrates really the enemy of weight loss? In this episode of the American Glutton podcast, Ethan sits down with Paige to tackle the intense debate surrounding low-carb and no-carb diets.

Instead of relying on unsustainable quick fixes, he emphasizes the importance of looking at total energy intake, emotional triggers, and foundational health pillars like quality sleep. Tune in to hear why extreme diets often fail and how to build a realistic approach for long-term success.
