Carbs always get the blame for everything….
So they must be kak, right?
Carbs don’t bite
*Kak meaning shit
- Get lost while hiking? Must be the carbs
- White privilege? Must be the carbs
- Poor life choices? Must be the carbs
- Getting divorced? Must be the carbs
- Fell pregnant? Must be the carbs
- Land Claims? Must be the carbs
- Donald Trump? Must be the carbs
Put on weight?
It can only be those damn carbs
#TruthBeTold
Ever heard the saying:
“I have cut out carbs”
- You are lying to yourself and everyone around you
Understanding Carbs
Carbohydrates are the body’s main fuel source which can be found in numerous types of foods.
They can be found in:
- fruits
- vegetables
- grains
- nuts
- seeds
- dairy
- sugary foods
- alcohol
Most people think of carbs as only bread, pasta and potatoes.
Sue’s Scenario:
Sue: I am not sure why I am not losing weight, I have cut out all carbs.
Voice: OK, so what do your daily meals consist of?
Sue: Breakfast I love me some muesli & Yogurt. Sometimes I sprinkle some jelly beans over it just for added flavor.
Voice: You love fruit as well?
Sue: Oh, I adore fruit, especially bananas.
Voice: Do you eat bread, Pasta or potatoes?
Sue: Oh God no, I told you, I don’t eat carbs.
Saying that you quit carbohydrates, is like Sue saying that she quit all alcohol and sex, but still accepts lite beer for blowjobs.
Interesting Fact
Glucose is virtually the sole fuel for the human brain
Glucose, at its very core, is a carbohydrate
This explains a lot about certain people that cut “all” carbs #LoopyAsFuck
Carbs are everywhere
Carbs are not kak, your Googling skills are
I eat 20 carbs a day and I’m on keto. There are carbs in everything, even eggs!
Exactly. I eat all the carbs all the day 🙂
Thank you for sharing this! I always get so internally heated when I hear someone talking about swearing off carbs. You can’t avoid carbs unless you’re eating straight oil and steak. Your article is perfect. I had to laugh over carbs being the blame for getting lost while hiking. Glucose = life.
When I first tried to lose weight I also had no idea of the different carbs and what functions they played within our bodies – This is probably why I struggled to lose weight in the beginning. It was only when I really wanted to lose weight that I started Googling everything, and really, knowledge is power.
My main goal here is just to try educated people and help them skip that initial stage that I struggled with.
Loved the post, thanks for sharing!
New follower here and love your blog. I’m low carbing, not because I think carbs are evil but because without the restriction I eat all the carbs, small children and random animals every single weekend. Your content is fantastic. Looking forward to following you 🙂
Hahaha, what did the small children ever do to you, jokes. I totally get you. If I haven’t calculated my meals properly then I also take it easy on the carbs before I go overboard. Thanks for the awesome feedback by the way!
You are very welcome!
Also, well done on your weight loss! Excellent job.
Right back at you! It’s amazing what our bodies can do, isn’t it?
Hahaha you’re too much but I love it! I’ve never had to cut out carbs and each time I hear people say they have I just roll my eyes. I used to run A LOT and for me going without carbs would make me very unhappy and not very productive. I live by the “everything in moderation” mantra. Best thing ever.
I’m enjoying blog posts, I might just spend a few more minutes here.
