Carbs. The most feared macronutrient in the fitness space — and honestly, the most misunderstood. Women are still scared of bread, terrified of pasta, eating the burger without the bun.
But carbohydrates are not the problem. They never were. And in this episode I'm breaking down what carbs actually do in your body, why they're essential for the training that creates the physique you want, and why so much of what you've been told about carbs and fat gain, bloating, and insulin just isn't accurate.
Consider this your permission to order the pasta.
What you'll learn
How carbohydrates got blamed for a problem they didn't create — and what actually was the issue all along
The insulin argument: why "carbs spike insulin → insulin stores fat → carbs make you fat" is a massive oversimplification of how your body actually works
What your body does with carbohydrates once you eat them
Why muscle glycogen is so critical for women who lift — and what happens to your training when carbs are chronically too low
Why women say carbs make them bloated, and the real reason that's happening (hint: it's not the carbs)
Simple vs. complex carbs: why white carbs aren't bad and when simple carbs are actually the smarter choice
My take on keto — why using fat for fuel doesn't actually mean losing body fat
Do you need fewer carbs on rest days? The carb cycling question answered directly
How much of your diet should actually come from carbohydrates — and why so many women are getting this backwards
