83. Do Carbs Really Have a Dark Side?

Real Food Stories

Ever found yourself questioning the true impact of carbohydrates on your health, or weight gain? Do you blame carbs and feel that you are addicted to them? In this episode I help to debunk some of the biggest myths around carbs, the questions that I get asked the most from clients, and how you can rest easy when you know what carbs are good to eat, and why.
I cover the debate around fruit, insulin resistance, carb addiction and the impact carbohydrates have on weight. We'll navigate through the maze of misinformation and emerge with a clear understanding of how to manage portions, select the right fruits for blood sugar sensitivity, and why insulin resistance needs to be part of this conversation.
As we peel back the layers on carbohydrate addiction, we move beyond simple explanations and into the intricate relationship between food cravings, emotional eating, and neurochemistry. Listen as we untangle how the brain's dopamine pathways might be conspiring to keep you reaching for that extra slice of pie. Armed with strategies and insights into transitioning to complex carbohydrates, this episode promises to equip you with the tools necessary to break free from the addictive cycle of high-glycemic eating. By the end, you'll be ready to make informed choices for a healthier lifestyle with newfound wisdom and a sense of control over your dietary decisions.
