'No carbs before Marbs', 'Carbs make you fat', 'Carbs are bad for you'.... recognise these headlines? Probably because you have seen them a lot in media headlines are promoted by celebrity influencers.

It is these type of one line headers that can often spark negative relationships with food. There is so much more to these stories but we do not always have the time or really care to dive into the detail. So we read the heading and take it as gospel. We then tell our friends about this news and the Chinese whispers begin. That is how quickly something can be misread, shared and cause damage to many who fall victim.

I fell victim! In my younger years, I suffered with ED and my relationship with food is general was very negative. Therefore, I was heavily attracted to any news or magazine articles surrounding food. My problem was that, like many, I did not read the full article. I saw the headline and chose to believe whatever that said. This led to my cutting or avoiding certain foods from my diet that I had 'been told' were bad for me and my weight loss goals.

Well I am here to tell you that I bloody love carbs! I eat them every day and I eat a lot of them. To feel this free, without guilt or shame or worry is incredible after experiencing such trauma and neglect. And you know the best part? I am actually in the best shape that I have ever been. I am stronger, I have more energy, I am more focused and I am finally achieving my health and fitness goals.

There are pro's and con's to eating a high carb or low carb diet but as explained in this podcast, I am not here to provide or replace medical advice or address health conditions. I am simply here to tell you that if you are afraid to eat carbs because of this belief that they will make you fat, please at least dig a little deeper into the science. Have a listen and let me know your thoughts or concerns.
