Some people think that cutting out carbs is the answer to weight loss. This is totally not the case. I’m here to let you know that eating carbs is actually an important part of staying healthy and by no means is it necessary to completely cut out a macronutrient food group.
The timing and choice of carbs is what matters most. I like to eat carbs before my workouts and after. I usually stick to yams, rice, and quinoa. I also eat broccoli on the regular a s well. If you have anymore questions about getting on a nutrition plan that works foe you, let me know! I have specific programs available upon request.
