But first, I need you to quit demonizing carbs.

Carbs are not the devil — the lack of knowledge & understanding of the macronutrient is the main issue here. So let’s correct that. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😊" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤗" title="Umarmendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Umarmendes Gesicht">

Carbohydrates are 1/3 of the major macronutrients & your body’s primary source of energy.

Avoiding them completely isn’t the way to go, but knowing the right quantity to consume & type is the best way forward here. Balance, sustainability https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😊" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen">

Carbs aren’t just bread and rice, you can find carbs in :
- milk / dairy products
- vegetables
- nuts and grains

Carbs are made up of three components: fiber, starch, and sugar. Fiber = complex carbs. Sugar = simple carbs. #thrivefitnesske

Complex carbs have higher nutritional value than simple carbs.

Simple carb foods to limit / avoid :
- soda
- cookies
- packaged fruit juice
- corn syrup
- glucose, fructose, sucrose.
.... you already know the list heheheh.

On the flip side, complex carbs are YOUR FRIEND. Remember, all you need to do is understand your daily carbohydrate recommended intake, stick to it & you’re good to go https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤗" title="Umarmendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Umarmendes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Rotes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Herz">
