First, let’s address the elephant in the room: carbs are not the devil. They’re not sent from a low-carb underworld to make your jeans tight. In fact, if you cut out every single carb, your brain will literally start sending you angry memos in the form of foggy thinking and weird cravings for bagels.
Your brain runs on glucose. That’s carbs. Without them, your body starts doing desperate things, like converting your own muscles into sugar. That’s not fitness; that’s cannibalism with extra steps. We want to avoid that.
