Are Carbs the Devil? Carb Cycling & Carb Ups.

In this final episode in the 5-part Keto Conversation series we are chatting ALL about carbs!! Are carbs the devil? Should we fear carbs? Can we never eat them again?

Au contraire – I actually want to share that you CAN actually eat carbs and they may work synergistically with your low glycemic approach to support some important functionality within the body, to reset and rebalance, as needed.

After you’ve given your body the time and space and taught it how to become fat adapted, it’s in that nuanced lifestyle and your personalized approach that you create where the real magic happens, in my opinion.

Topics Covered and Questions Answered in Episode 22:

  • disclaimers on who should take care when carb cycling
  • possible symptoms that may indicate a need for carb cycling or carb ups
  • why imbalance can happen with a ketogenic approach
  • first and most major question you need to ask yourself – are you eating enough?
  • what is leptin?
  • how does leptin signaling get messed up?
  • why does leptin depletion happen?
  • can we reset leptin synthesis?
  • why carbs might be the answer. 
  • the benefits of carb cycling.
  • how-to carb cycle
  • is carb cycling with intense workouts necessary?
  • AND SO MUCH MORE!!!
