423: What You Need to Know About Carbs and Sugar (Let's Break Through the BS!)
Update: 2024-12-16
Description
Have you heard the claim that oatmeal is the same as candy? Or that eating bread is like spoon-feeding your body sugar?
These bold (and frankly, misleading) statements inspired this week’s episode of the Fit in Real Life Podcast.
We’re diving into the nitty-gritty details of carbohydrates, sugar, and how they’re metabolized in the body—cutting through the confusion and busting some major myths along the way.
Here’s a sneak peek at what you’ll learn:
- The science of what carbohydrates are and how they’re digested.
- Why glucose is essential—and why not all sugars are created equal.
- The differences between refined carbs and whole, nutrient-dense options.
- Whether eating carbs really "causes inflammation."
- Practical advice for including carbs in a healthy, balanced diet.
Join me for a no-BS breakdown of the facts, so you can make informed choices without fear or confusion.
