please remember to download our “how to low-carb” tips below this post.<\/span><\/p>\n low-carb is a big thing now, I would say it\u2019s almost like a fad. in many ways it\u2019s great because so many of us are realizing that carbs are a problem.\u00a0 and in some ways we must be careful, because we believe that within the real food realm, carbs are an important source of many beneficial nutrients.<\/p>\n understand, in general, we’re not low-carb. \u00a0true low-carb would be less than 100g of net carbs in a day, probably moving closer to less than 50g of net carbs per day. \u00a0we’re not about being low-carb per se, we’re lower-carbish compared to S.A.D. for sure. \u00a0instead, we’re all about the right carbs, from the right sources, at the right time of day! \u00a0we do see low-carb as a useful tool, but not as a long-term strategy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n in our world, we\u2019re talking about predominant sources of glucose<\/a>, starch<\/a>, and sugar<\/a> from #safestarches, fruits, sweet things. \u00a0although almost all foods contain some glucose, we’re specifically talking about these sources that are relatively higher in glucose \/ starch \/ sugar.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n we need carbs in the diet because:<\/p>\n we recommend cyclic low-carb. use it as a tool. but not something to do long-term.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n “most people, after a brief transitional adaptation period, feel leaner, tighter, with better energy, and better\u00a0most things from going low-carb.”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n in the context of eating 100% real food, and being fully adapted to our way of eating.<\/p>\n we don\u2019t count carbs, net carbs, or portion control.\u00a0 we just have these\u00a0basic guidelines. \u00a0JUST DOING THIS, most people are going to see great results.<\/p>\n OUR FIRST FOCUS IS REAL FOOD!<\/strong>\u00a0 if you’re attempting low-carb our way and have to break because it’s too challenging, that’s totally fine!\u00a0 or if YOUR version of low-carb is just going LOWER carb, that’s fine too!\u00a0 have fun with it and be easy.\u00a0 if you’re attempting low-carb one day, and instead of 3\/4 cup of rice and 3\/4 cup of fruit you just have a little fruit, that’s a great experiment!\u00a0 it’s all relative to what you were doing before!<\/p>\nwhat exactly do we mean by carbs?<\/h3>\n
