Myth 4: Carbs Are Evil!
Sure, that may be true if all you’re eating are processed foods filled with refined carbs and sugars then choosing to sit on your ass all day. In reality carbohydrates are one of the keys to fueling your body during a workout. You need food that will keep your engines reving throughout your training and the best way to get that is through a balanced diet of fats, proteins, AND carbs. Carbs fuel your mind and your body and allow you to push past your limits in the gym. The wrong carbs, coupled with a lazy attitude, can be your number one enemy. But if you’re an athlete looking to make consistent gains then you’re going to want to keep some of those carbs in your program.
