“If loving carbs is wrong, I don’t wanna be right” – Annon

Cut carbohydrates out of your diet, and you lose scale weight

Can I let you into a little secret? Two actually…

1) Most of that change is water weight

2) It’s the decrease in calories, not the carbs

To lose weight, you must be in a consistent calorie deficit

That means, burning more calories than you are eating in a day

Consistently, over a period of time

In answer to point 1:

When you eat a carb, you digest it and store it in your muscles

Along with storing the energy, you also store water

When you take carbs out, you no longer store water

In answer to point 2:

When you take carbs out of your diet, you eat less food

Less food equals less calories overall

By default, you are in a calorie deficit

The bottom line?

There is no such thing as a bad food, just a bad overall diet

Within a calorie controlled diet, carbs are important

Important as fuel for the brain, and your muscles

Low carb diets make people tired, hungry and unmotivated

Unless you have a specific reason not to

Remember to LOVE THY CARB
