Do you have to cut carbs to lose weight?   To carb or not to carb, that is the question!   If you look around social media, half the people are telling you to quit carbs altogether and half the people are telling you the carbs are good and you need them. But who's right? This episode is our third installment in our focus on the food three part series.  We already talked about protein and fat, if you haven't caught the first two episodes, go back and listen to them after this.    So why are carb so demonized? What does it actually mean to reduce or eliminate carbs? What exactly IS a carb? How much and what type of carbs are the best for me?  I'll answer all your questions because . . .   It's definitely NOT as easy as saying "carbs are bad, dump them" - an apple is a carb, broccoli is a carb, lettuce is a carb, are those bad?  In my opinion the conversation about WHAT TYPES of carbs, and the quality of carbs is the conversation we SHOULD be having, so let's do it!   XOXO Tara   PS.
