tinyurl.com/kickstarter26 Think carbs are making you fat? Think you're intolerant to bread and pasta? Think cutting carbs is the answer? You're probably wrong on all three. I'm Paul Evans, registered nutritionist (MSc, RNutr), and in this episode of No Forking Nonsense I'm breaking down the biggest carb myths in the diet industry. In this episode: Why that initial weight loss on low-carb diets isn't fat (it's water and glycogen) What actually happens to your body when you cut carbs long term (spoiler: it's not good) The real reason carbs don't make you fat (portion sizes and food combinations do) Why you feel bloated after pasta (and why it's not a wheat intolerance) The water retention problem nobody talks about (and how to fix it) Why 93% of people who think they're gluten intolerant aren't The portion size problem: why restaurant pasta servings are 3x what you should eat How to actually eat carbs properly without bloating or gaining weight I reference the DIETFITS trial showing low-carb and low-fat diets produce identical weight loss, and a 2018 study proving most "gluten sensitivity" is actually portion size and placebo effect. This isn't anti-keto propaganda. This is evidence-based information about how your body actually works with carbohydrates - and why cutting them out completely is unnecessary for 99% of people. If you've been scared of bread, pasta, or rice - this episode will change how you think about carbs forever. For five days of completely free coaching head to tinyurl.com/kickstarter26
