Why Carbs are ESSENTIAL for health and fitness

1. The Body’s Main Energy Source

Carbs are your muscles’ and brain’s favorite fuel — especially during workouts and recovery

2. Better Performance + Endurance

Low carbs = low energy. Adequate carbs help you lift stronger, move faster, and recover better

3. Supports Brain Function + Mood

Carbs help regulate serotonin — the “feel-good” chemical. Skipping them can leave you foggy, tired, or cranky

4. Not All Carbs Are Created Equal

Focus on:

• Fruits & veggies 🍎

• Whole grains 🌾

• Beans & lentils 🫘

• Starchy veggies like potatoes 🥔

  
  

5. Balance is Key

Carbs + protein + fat = stable energy and better results. No food group should be the enemy!

💡 Remember: Carbs don’t make you gain weight — overeating does. Fuel your body right, and it will perform better for you!

*Yes, some people do well on diets like keto, but there is nothing magical about it. The ONLY reason people lose weight after adopting a keto lifestyle is because they have cut out a large portion of carbohydrates, and in doing so, they have cut out calories. The calorie deficit is what drives fat loss. Do not think that in order to lose weight, you too must adopt this lifestyle. The best diet for you is the one that you can stick with long term while enjoying positive results*
