0:00.0	Welcome back. I am really excited about today's topic because I'm hoping that I can break down
0:06.4	some myths for you about carbohydrates. I decided to record this episode after
0:12.2	getting a couple of emails from clients and potential clients on carbohydrates and their thoughts
0:18.8	about how they affected their body. The first email was from a client where she explained that
0:24.0	she couldn't eat any fruits because it had sugar in it and it was bad for her. And the second
0:28.9	email was from a client who was starting next week and she explained that she didn't ever eat
0:36.0	carbs and she feared having carbs in the evening or even at dinner because they were bad for her at
0:42.1	dinner. They would just sit in her stomach and make her gain weight. And both of these emails
0:46.9	made me really sad because they're both wrong. They're a complete misconception and a lack of
0:52.8	understanding of how the body uses carbs, how they can benefit the body, and then just simply what
0:58.7	to be aware of. The truth is a lot of the things we hear like this, there is some truth to it
1:05.0	but it is taken to an extreme and creating fear mongering around food that is ultimately good for
1:11.6	us. So I wanted to clarify that today in a short and simple and sweet podcast episode explaining
1:19.5	simple carbs, complex carbs, when they are both beneficial for you and why you shouldn't fear
1:25.7	either of them for different reasons. And if you find this episode helpful, I would love to hear
1:31.1	from you. I want to give a shout out to Julia Long. This podcast has changed the way that I think
1:36.5	about all things wellness. Thanks Andrea for breaking down and championing mommas and women without
1:42.0	being disparaging. As a wellness professional myself, it's important to keep learning and I just
1:46.8	love learning from you. Thank you. Keep doing your thing. You're inspiring to the masses. Thank you
1:51.4	so much Julia for the review. I really appreciate their views. If you enjoy the episode don't forget
1:56.6	to leave one. I read them every week. It helps me keep going and it just helps the podcast grow.
2:01.6	And honestly, even if you want to tell me something you want to hear different or a new topic,
	...
