Low Carb diets are all the rage.
But it’s just not for me.
I eat carbs.
The problem is not carbohydrates. The problem is when I try to drink my calories or eat a village worth of ice cream. If I can keep those two things balanced, I do alright.
There are plenty of health benefits from eating a whole food, omnivore diet. Just by cutting out the soda, sugar, and processed junk…you can make huge strides.
You don’t have to give up carbs.
The only thing you have to sacrifice…
is the flab.

p.s.
You may have to adjust portions to match your calorie needs. But I think people focus too much on calories and macros and not enough on nutrition.
