All right, we're going to talk about carbs, carbohydrates, how you can eat them for muscle gains, strength, and for fat loss. We're going to give you the breakdown on your favorite foods. Let's talk about it. Let's go.
Yeah, don't skip the carbs.
Yes. Pro-carb. Carbs are such an interesting... It was so interesting getting in the fitness industry in the 90s and then watching the evolution of how people look at carbohydrates in the early 2000s.
You became the devil real quick.
Yeah, it was, you know, in the 80s, 90s, fat was demonized, so everything was higher carbohydrate.
Oh, I will say it's a better movement than that. Yeah. I mean, because we don't need the carbs. Right, right.
Non-essential. No, but I remember this like it was yesterday. Like, you know, they come out with a book on eating a very high-fat diet, no carbohydrate, right? Atkins was the doctor that wrote the book. And because it was so opposite from what everybody had been told, which you gotta be, don't eat fat, fat's bad for you. He's like, no, eat all the fat you want, just don't eat carbs. And it completely flipped the script and then people became afraid of carbs. And so it's very interesting when you talk about carbohydrates, how people's opinions vary. When you talk to athletes or bodybuilders, they'll have varying opinions. People still have fear around carbohydrates or maybe confusion around carbohydrates.
So I think it's good that we talk about them. The first thing you said, Adam, was that it's true that they're not essential. There are three macronutrients. So macro meaning large. Micronutrients are things like vitamins and minerals. But macronutrients are proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. And there's three of them in food. Only carbohydrates are non-essential, meaning you can survive without ever eating a single carbohydrate. Your body doesn't need them. Now, protein, your body needs. There are what are known as essential amino acids. Your body needs to get them from an outside source. And then there are what are known as essential fatty acids or fats.
