As spring 🌷🌺 approaches and the rebirth of our world begins, many people become more aware of what they look 👀 like and with that comes the need to change their bodies.
Restricting macronutrients is NOT the solution to achieve this goal 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
CARBS 🍞🥨🍒🥕🍎repost:
As a Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist (not a health coach, personal trainer, blogger), the one person licensed who you can go to for evidence based advice, I would love to educate you as to why you can NOT live without them:
1. Carbs are the primary source of energy (not protein). If you don’t ingest them your body will break down protein for energy (not fat) and guess what🤔: no one is capable of doing proteins job😰
2. If you are on psychotropic medication for mental health issues, you need carbs to help your medication work.
3. You need carbs for cognitive function (your brain to work so you don’t get headaches) and red blood cell production.
Sooooo- will you lose weight on a no/low carb diet- yup. But all of those 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻 people don’t tell you that what you lose on a diet like this is lean tissue, muscle and water (because protein is doing someone else’s job!)
The saddest fact is what else they don’t tell you is, when you go off of a carb free diet and gain back your weight (which most people do because these diets are not sustainable for ever and there is too much food and too many choices in our country) almost all of it will be fat.
Why don’t you read this again while toasting an English muffin or eating a piece of matzoh 😏
