Memorable Quotes:
"Carbs are not bad. And there's a better understanding in the fitness industry lately, and even in the general public, that we need carbs. And in order to lose weight effectively, you need to be including carbs in your diet. However, we also don't want an overabundance of carbs."
"A lot of people seem like they're saying, 'Eat all the carbs.' That's great sometimes. But it's also okay to reduce your carbohydrate intake as long as it's done in a controlled manner and in a sustainable manner that makes sense in accordance with your fitness goals."
"The timing of your meals matters when it comes to optimal results and maintaining your hormones and maintaining your cravings, keeping things in control, optimizing your digestion, optimizing your sleep."
