“You eat too many carbohydrates!”
Why is this so controversial? Because it’s the norm and that is an issue.
First off, let me say that I am not a diet extremist.
Though having come from the fitness social media space, this is apparently a controversial statement.
How dare I suggest restriction or deprivation?
It is bizarre to me that this is not common sense.
But then again I see a host of fitness professionals rabidly defending our right to eat carbs and protecting us from the keto and carnivore zealots.
This is the problem with social media
I used to be one of those fitness professionals.
Someone would say keto and I would jump on them saying “YOU CAN EAT DONUTS AND LOSE WEIGHT.”
I still stand by this…
…but people like me arguing over it on the internet under the guise of a “public service” doesn’t help anyone.
It’s a performance that serves my ego and appeases the social media algorithm.
When probed further, each side will talk about nuance: "It’s about balance, an occasional treat is fine” and they would be right…
