EATING LOW CARB
The "Healthy" Food Myth
What many people do not realize is that many of the foods that are considered "healthy" the body actually ends up turning into sugar, resulting in the spiking of insulin levels, and storage of fat.
Some of these "healthy" foods might include:
-
whole grain breads and cereals
-
oatmeal
-
sweet potatoes
-
rice
-
quinoa
-
corn
-
bananas
-
pineapple
It's easy to see why most Americans are overweight when you spend a little time looking over the macros of some of your favorite snacks. There are so many ways we consume sugars and carbs without even realizing it and it's mind-blowing.

It's harder for "Sugar Burners" to access stored fat for energy which means they need to eat more. Have you ever been "#Hangry"?
