Oh! IT'S REAL! 🤦‍♀️

Not all carbs are bad for us but eating the "right" kinds of carbs can keep us healthier.

Highly processed carbs -- white bread, sugary cereal, white rice, regular pasta and bagels, for example -- produce rapid rises and drops in blood sugar, which can lead to weight gain. They also can lead to something called metabolic syndrome, which is associated with an increased risk for heart disease, stroke and diabetes.

The tricky part is that the more processed, refined carbs we eat, the more we crave. And so it seems almost impossible to get off the carb-craving hamster wheel.

Read link below to understand your carbs. Good luck quitting carb/sugar cravings.
