How often have you thought to yourself in order to lose weight you need to avoid carbs? E.g. breads or pasta.
Have you ever felt an overwhelming sense of guilt after you've eaten carbs?
Or feel like you need to 'work it off' in the gym?
See, it's not your fault.
Over the last few years, food has been given moral labels - 'good' food and 'bad' food.
Often, carbs are labelled as 'bad', which is simply not the case.
We've attached a negative feeling to carbs, which has led to an unhealthy relationship and something to avoid.
Here's the thing, the second you deny yourself a thing, you plant a seed.
The more you deny yourself, the more you're watering the seed, and it grows.
Before you know it, you've got a plant, and before long, you've succumbed to temptation and more likely to binge.
As we all do. We're only human! We eventually succumb to temptation if we've held off for so long.
But imagine we didn't water that seed?
Imagine we allowed ourselves bread. I'm not saying eat the whole loaf, but allow for a slice or 2.
I bet you'd be less frustrated, more satisfied with your food choice, and less likely to binge after weeks of torturing yourself.
Which is going to make that weight loss journey a lot easier and more sustainable.
I never tell anyone I work with to avoid carbs. In fact, the completed opposite.
Because you can eat carbs and still make progress.
Carbs are fuel.
Without fuel, the engine doesn't run.
