Carbs aren’t evil

[3momchaos]

I’m always bothered when people say they’re going on a no carb “diet”. For 2 reasons. 1. It’s not sustainable. 2. Carbs aren’t evil! I just read this article this morning that helps back up my feelings on the subject. I also like that it lists white potatoes with skin on the complex carb list because potatoes get a bad reputation. It’s not the potato, it’s how it’s prepared or what’s put on it that make it not as health.

I agree!!

I totally agree. I was so relieved when the dietitian set my goals to 45% carbs, 30% protein and 25% fat. Carbs are at the highest value!

I appreciate reading this. It's a good reminder that all carbs are not created equal.
