Welcome to this episode of Kennedy saves the world.

And today I'm going to save you from a very boring, all-protein, all-fat

diet. Keto is great for some people. It works in the short term, very hard to sustain a keto

diet for most of us. If you're like me, you really like carbohydrates. So I was watching a promoted post on

Instagram and this guy was super ripped and he was like, you only have to work out four minutes

a week and you can eat as many carbs you want and look just like me. And so I started watching

the video. Then I got really, really bored. And he mentioned carb cycling. And I was like, what is this carb cycling you

speak of? Because obviously, you know, carbs are the enemy, according to fat bastard. And none of us

want to be fat bastards. We want to look sexy. We want to feel good. We want to workouts to be

more effective. And for those of us who

do longer distance training and racing, we need carbohydrates. So I want to know what in the

world is this carb cycling. So I turn to the expert. She is a registered dietitian, a certified

sports nutritionist. She lives in beautiful Orlando,

Florida, and she is the author of Carb Cycling for Weight Loss. Shoshana Pritzker,

welcome to Kennedy Saves the World. Thank you so much for having me. Quite the intro.

Well, tell me about this carb cycling because I'm very intrigued because my

body craves carbs, which is not necessarily great because I think when I take in more calories

than I burn, my body really, really holds on to anything extra, which makes life tough. But here's the super ripped guy on Instagram, like,

this is what celebrities do. They don't go keto. We need carbs. So what is carb cycling? Just break it down.

Give me the basics, the nuts and bolts of what this potential oasis in a desert of weight loss is?

So it's literally exactly how it sounds.

You're just cycling the amount of carbs that you eat.
