A whole food plant based diet is a carbohydrate-rich diet... and that is a good thing!!! This is because carbohydrates are the preferred fuel source for each of the 10 trillion cells in your body.

In this episode we get a little sciencey to discuss some critical information to understand so you can fuel your body optimally.

DISCLAIMER: We do NOT recommend counting macronutrients, or any other nutritional metric for that matter, including calories!

ADDITIONALLY, "carbs" are NOT a food group! ALL whole plant foods contain ALL macronutrients, along with fiber, vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients that synergistically support your metabolism and health.

Some important takeaways include...

• What carbohydrates have to do with the sun
• Simple vs complex carbs and glucose vs fructose
• The digestion, absorption, and metabolism of carbohydrates
• The role of insulin, and what REALLY causes insulin resistance/type 2 diabetes
• Why it's impossible to be a human without 'sugar/carb cravings'
• Debunking the myth that carbs make you fat
