Can cutting carbs actually make you feel worse? Discover the truth behind this common diet myth in our latest episode of "A Healthy Shift." As a veteran shift worker and certified nutritionist, I, Roger Sutherland, demystify the essential role of carbohydrates in our diet, especially for those of us burning the midnight oil. From brain function to muscle energy, learn why carbs are not the enemy and how they can be your best ally in maintaining peak performance during irregular hours.
In this enlightening episode, we break down the different types of carbs—sugars, starches, and fibre—and uncover why they are indispensable for your health. We also tackle the misconceptions about "good" and "not so good" carbs, highlighting which ones to eat and when for optimal energy levels and digestive health. Say goodbye to the keto confusion and embrace a balanced approach to carbs that supports your demanding lifestyle. Tune in, empower yourself, and revolutionize how you think about carbohydrates!
