Oh Holy Carb!

Updated: Oct 26, 2023

Have you ever felt overwhelmed looking at your macros, especially those pesky carbs? You're not alone! I get many questions from people scratching their heads about how to lose weight while eating carbs.


Cracking the Carb Code:


One of the most common myths about macros is that carbs are the bad guys when gaining weight. But let's set the record straight: it's not about which macro you eat, but how much. You'll gain weight if you overeat any macro, including carbs, protein, or fat.


Carbs get a bad rap because they can cause your weight to fluctuate. Have you noticed that when you cut down on carbs, the scale goes down, and when you load up on carbs, it goes up? This is because carbs cause your body to hold onto more water. Fewer carbs mean less water retention and a drop in weight.


But here's the thing: carbs aren't inherently fattening. They play a crucial role in your diet. Carbs are your primary source of energy and can turbocharge your metabolism. They're also essential for building muscle, which helps you burn fat even while you're at rest.


The Common Mistake:


A big mistake many people make is going all-in on carb-cutting for rapid weight loss. Sure, it might lead to some quick water weight loss, but it will also leave you feeling drained and with a sluggish metabolism. The secret to successful weight management is all about balance and avoiding extremes.


Keeping it Real:


At Nataliya Fitness Coaching, I'm all about making nutrition both sustainable and enjoyable. Instead of pushing you onto a strict, bland diet, I encourage you to keep your favourite foods in the mix while still shedding fat—sometimes with more carbs and calories than expected. This approach isn't just more fun and a practical option for busy people looking for long-lasting success.


 

Nataliya Fitness Coaching's Game Plan:


My goal at Nataliya Fitness Coaching is to help you achieve a healthier and more confident body without chaining you to an unrealistic diet.
