carbs

“The difference between a myth and a fact is good science.” I love this phrase. You see, fitness and weight loss don’t need to be complicated, but I often overhear conversations between gym-goers discussing fitness advice that just isn’t true. We get confused from media and hearsay. Let me try to shed some light on several urban myths by looking at the science.

I just read a book called “Living the Low Carb Life” by Jonny Bowden. What I really liked about it was the way it educated me about sugar and high carbohydrate foods. I have always loved these foods and have fought with myself over and over about how I shouldn’t, but I want to, oh it is ok, just once, never again …. Or, I can burn it off, or, I work out so much I am sure it won’t matter.
