CARB MYTHS – BUSTED!

Holly challenges three of our common misconceptions…

1 CARBS ARE BAD FOR WEIGHT LOSS ‘Vegetables are carbs and a vital part of a healthy diet, especially for weight loss! Other fibre-rich complex carbs, such as wholegrains and legumes, can actually curb appetite.’

2 CUTTING CARBS HELPS WITH FAT LOSS ‘When you drastically reduce carbohydrate intake, you initially lose water weight, not fat. It’s equally important to track calorie consumption – too many calories can lead to high blood sugar and fat storage.’

3 CARBS ARE UNHEALTHY ‘Complex carbs such as fruits and vegetables are packed with essential nutrients and should be included as a part of a balanced diet.’
