Carbs are always a hot topic. Some people think they're the reason you can't lose fat, and others think you need as many as possible to perform. In this episode, I go over nine carb mistakes I see that could be hurting your physique and performance, from staying low carb all year to assuming more carbs always means better training.
I also cover what actually determines how many carbs you need, why placing carbs around your workouts matters, why high-carb, high-fat foods get blamed on carbs, what a rise in blood glucose really means, and how I like to periodize carbs throughout the year.
