With trendy eating styles like Paleo, the Whole30 diet, and the ketogenic diet as popular as ever, it seems like everyone is ditching bread (and maybe even oatmeal!) these days. But what’s a life without carbs? Besides sluggish, crabby, and riddled with brain fog, that is.</p> <p>After all, when most people cut carbohydrates, they are forgetting (though maybe they never knew in the first place) the fact that carbs are a <i>macro</i> nutrient, meaning that people need to consume them in large quantities for optimal health, explains registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator Vandana Sheth, R.D.N., C.D.E, spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.</p> <p><a href="https://www.vitaminshoppe.com/blog/carbs-weight-loss/" rel="nofollow">Continue reading How To Eat Carbs And Still Lose Weight at What’s Good blog.</a></p> ]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.vitaminshoppe.com/blog/carbs-weight-loss/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">3184</post-id> </item> <item> <title>7 Weight-Loss Myths That Can Sabotage Your Progress</title> <link>https://www.vitaminshoppe.com/blog/weight-loss-myths/</link> <comments>https://www.vitaminshoppe.com/blog/weight-loss-myths/#comments</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[K.
