You do not HAVE to cut out carbs in order to lose weight. - Keto or low carb can work for some people if they can adhere to it long term. That’s cool, I’m here for whatever works for people but I’m also here to tell you it’s not the only way. - I know there is a lot of confusing information out there but it all comes down to the correct energy balance— not eliminating a single macronutrient. - Some of the reasons low carb or keto diets may work for some is because it eliminates a lot of highly palatable food options and allows people to adhere to a calorie deficit.🍕🥖🍞🥯🍪🧁 - Calories are king when it comes to weight loss but choosing healthier carb sources when you can, will help keep you full longer and prevent a potential “fuck it” moment. Think of the last time you were only able to have one chip for example. 😬 - You can still reserve room for treat days but choosing complex carb sources like potatoes, fruits, quinoa, oats, veggies ( yes veggies are carbs too ) on a more regular basis will help keep you full longer and they are much harder to overeat. 🥦 - Most importantly, just be aware of how certain foods make you feel, or which foods seem to be “foods without brakes” for you. This is all part of the process but I am here to tell you that carbs does not lead to fat gain, eating too many calories does. 😁 ... #carbs #carbflu #keto #lowcarb #nocarb #nutrition #health #food #fitness #fit #workout #exercise #humpday #unpopulartruth #ftm #ftmfitness #bodybuilding #weightloss #fatloss #personaltrainer #coach https://www.instagram.com/p/CLXd52vMLfl/?igshid=96tooj2owo2q

I’ve been leaning out for my upcoming physique show and someone asked me: “Did you go through a “carb flu” when you cut our carbs. 🤭 ... Well, no... because I haven’t cut out carbs. I’m still eating around 200g daily and I’m leaning out just fine 😁 ... How is that possible?! Well, I just make sure I’m in a calorie deficit. 😁 ...

#carbflu #fml

I was totally craving something sweet this morning!!! I know the program doesn't want you to snack and that every meal should be protein and a ton of veggies with limited fruit... but it was this or a laffy taffy... so giant serving of fruit it is!! I feel so good and awake after eating it too!!! I mean, it's fruit! #carbflu #whole30 #restonstylewhole30 (at Herndon Community Center)

Can you believe I circled the candy aisle for two days in a row searching for something 21dsd-approved to satiate my sweet tooth/carb cravings?  Of course, I found no-thing! 

Sorry I didn't post this last night but I thought my skill of dying was more of a concern. I think it's funny every other day I crash an feel like a sloth, and today I'm like yah! Lets clean and go out side blah blah blah. But I did end yesterday on a good note. 20 carbs 1331/1470 Honestly I was in full death mode I didn't even want to eat. I usually don't eat after 7 pm, then I noticed I had about 500 more calories to consume so I panicked and ate 2 servings of bacon. But that's all I could manage to get down. That tis all. -A.

Has hit me to my core. I know this will be over soon, but I just want to sleep all day long and eat cake. I thought I was getting sick, sore throat and all and a little feverish, but he'll now I know I am like a junkie in rehab. Dealing with withdrawal from carbs and sugar. If it wasn't bad enough, I know knockin at my uterus wall is a period about to come a rocking next week. So all those pre cramps and cravings are just signing to me... Shit.
