Carbohydrates in Moderation


With so many diets and trends calling for low carb this and that, it is easy to assume that carbohydrates can be detrimental or at least be a key macronutrient to limit if you want to lose weight. In this article, we will discuss what exactly carbs are and if they really need to be limited for weight loss!

The stigma stemmed from the growing popularity of fad diets in the 2000s such as the Atkins diet and persisting diets such as the ketogenic diet. On the other hand, carbohydrates are an essential nutrient we need for energy, making up one of the three primary macronutrients. Carbs give the body glucose, which is the primary fuel source for the brain and body. With a lack of carbs, your body will turn to fats and protein for energy which may result in weight loss, however it may be at the cost of muscle leading to other health issues.
