With so much talk, confusion, and controversy in recent years about “carbs”, I wanted to give you my take on good carbs vs bad carbs, low carb, and all the other “carb confusion” out there. I’ll also show you one of my favorite healthy carbohydrate choices.

In addition to causing wild blood sugar swings and insulin surges promoting direct body fat deposition, eating too many carbs also increases your appetite and cravings.

Note that I didn’t include potatoes in the list of processed carbohydrates. Despite the trash talking they get from many fitness professionals, I think whole potatoes (not fries or chips!) are a nutrient-dense healthy food. Weight Loss Tips
