As a dietitian, I see one big myth that’s often pushed by influencers that I have to debunk for my patients. This myth is the basis of many fads and unsustainable diet trends –– usually in the name of weight loss, which (as I have written before) is a contentious issue because the number on the scale is never a good indicator of your physical health. This big myth: Carbs are the enemy.

I’m here to tell you that is simply not true.

Why We Get Cravings

When we get cravings, I think it’s important to get curious and ask why and treat it more like a symptom of something that’s not working for you rather than as a “problem” to “solve.” Because the answer is not always simple and what works for one patient may not work for another.

What Is A Calorie Deficit (And Who Might It Work For)?

I don’t solely work with clients on fat loss (and the discussion can be fairly loaded). But there is a lot of misinformation about #caloriedeficits and it is often touted as an easy A+B=C solution to losing weight – and that couldn’t be further from the truth. Read my blog on what a calorie deficit actually is and if it actually works for everyone (hint: it doesn’t).
