Yes...Potato Chips!!!

When you think about a diet what comes to your mind?
"Don't eat this!",
"Don't eat that!", 
"NO CARBS"
 The first thing that "CarbLovers" teaches us is that you have to eat carbs to lose weight and keep it off. The "No (low) Carb" diets often cut out the things that we crave the most, thus making it incredibly hard to stick to your diet. When we found out that we can actually eat carbs and lose weight at the same time, we were completely on board with being able to continue eating our favorite foods, such as: BREAD, PASTA, PIZZA, and yes...POTATO CHIPS!!!!

Five Truths About Low Carb Diets:
1. Low carb diets make you feel sad and stressed
  • From an outsider looking in, we have seen first hand the effects a "no carb" diet can cause. Major mood swings, irritability and stress by obsession over not eating carbs. If you chose to do a "no carb" diet and feel that is right for you, that is your choice; however, please seek out your doctor's opinion.
2. Low carb diets make you fatter, not thinner!
  • Yes, you will lose a good amount of weight, but the moment that you start putting those carbs back into your body... say hello to your weight again, because it will come back
3. Low carb diets are not sustainable!
4. Low carb diets bloat your belly!
  • According to a study a "low carb" diet cause constipation. A bloated belly is one of the main symptoms of constipation
5. Low carb diets  make you feel deprived!
