Blindly assuming that all carbs are bad is a giant mistake. When we make blanket statements like ‘don’t eat carbs’ it only confuses the message we send to the general public. A dogmatic, black & white approach to carbs is hurting the mindset of what we can & can’t eat. The idea that carbs are the enemy is a common appeal to emotion & popular folklore rather than the full range of scientific evidence. Your carb intake should be individualized according to your personal preference, tolerance, and athletic and aesthetic goals.

After all of my research it seems there is only one kind of food that can make you fat: Too much.

There’s no such thing as a fattening food – in fact, the term in and of itself is a misnomer. Any food whether it’s 'clean' or 'dirty,' 'healthy' or 'unhealthy' will cause fat gain when eaten in excess.

Knowing this is extraordinarily powerful. Understanding the information provided above can help you achieve and maintain your ideal physique while simultaneously incorporating your favorite 'unhealthy' foods on a consistent basis.

Don’t allow your diet to control your life. Live the life you want to live and use your diet as a means to enhance each and every experience.
