the truth about carbs

Remember how at one point there was a huge carb diet going on!? Well in the end its really not worth your time. It has been studied and shown that
  • Short term risks are extreme fatigue, constipation, and irritability
  • Long term risks are colon cancer and heart disease
  • Doctors say a minimum of 130 grams of carbs a day are needed for a healthy diet
Things which should be cut out of your diet are refined carbs (i.e. soda and foods with white flour). Instead have more of the natural foods including fruits, veggies, and whole grains. Everyone seems to be going towards a healthier trend so there shouldn't be any reason why you shouldn't be able to substitute! I know it's hard. Believe me. But I'm just looking out for your health. <3
