Should you eat Carbs or no Carbs? Answer… Yes
Ok let me start by asking a few simple question…
Are carbohydrates bad? Yes or no
No obviously
Do you want to give up carbohydrates?
Obviously No
Do you think you over eat carbohydrates?
Yeah there is possibly a high chance of that
(they just taste so good)
When it comes to trying to lose weight, emphasis on the word trying, nearly everyone has tried the “No carb” approach… and then they went back to eating carbs.
Let’s get technical but keep it simple…
Protein has 4 calories per gram
Also…
Carbohydrates have 4 calories per gram
I’m sure you’ve heard of people say “high protein diet is the best”, but of protein and carbs have the same amount of calories surly high carbs and high protein are the same right?
They are both 4 calories per gram right?
Yes and No (sorry)
One of the reasons why are high protein diet is effective is because our bodies has to work a little harder to break down the protein molecules (thermogenics) this can be up to 25% so that 4 calories per 1 gram could be 4…
