FIGHTING CARB-O-PHOBIA.
With all of the confusing information available on carbohydrates
these days, you may find yourself thinking you should avoid
them all together. In reality, there are good carbs that can
help you feel fuller longer, provide a good source of fiber,
keep your blood sugar stable and provide you with
energy for a longer amount of time.
On the other end of the spectrum are the carbohydrates
that are largely stripped of their original nutrition and fiber.
These are digested quickly and cause a rapid rise in
blood sugar, leaving you hungry and with low energy CONSIDER ADDING

FINDING F.I.T. FATS.
Just like carbohydrates, there is a lot of confusing
information about fats and how they fit into your diet.
Over the last few years, the health and fitness
community has largely unified on the benefits
of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats.
These fats can support heart health and cognitive
function and lower your risks of certain
cardiovascular diseases.
