0:00.0 | Hey guys, happy Friday. Welcome back. Today's episode is going to be short and sweet and to the point, |
0:08.0 | but I do think that this is going to be a light, bold moment for some people, especially if you're new here. |
0:14.6 | But today we are, I'm just going to cover three things that the internet or social media or Google or whatever will tell you |
0:24.4 | that you need to do to lose weight but that you don't actually have to do to lose weight. |
0:29.8 | So we're just going to rip the band-aid off and jump right in. The first thing that you do not |
0:35.1 | have to do to lose weight is cut carbs. This one I started with first |
0:41.0 | just because this is the biggest myth I would say that is out there is that you can't eat carbs |
0:47.6 | and be thin or you have to cut carbs to lose weight. At the end of the day, it does not matter how many carbs that you eat. |
0:56.6 | It literally will come down to your calorie intake at the end of the day. So if you are eating |

1:24.3 | are going to be at the very like peak tip top of the umbrella. |
1:28.4 | And then if you think below that the little like, you know, spokes or, you know, whatever that come down from the umbrella, you have protein, fats, and carbs. |
1:37.5 | Those are what make up your total calories. |
1:40.6 | So as long as you are not going over your calorie intake for the day, it doesn't matter if you're |
1:46.9 | eating what you would consider higher carb. It doesn't have to be low carb. When you see people |
1:52.6 | cut carbs and lose a bunch of weight in the beginning, it's because they are flushing out water. |
1:59.3 | So yes, scale-wise, they're going to see weight loss initially |
2:02.7 | because their glycogen stores are being depleted. They're flushing out all of that water. So, |
2:08.3 | yes, initially you're going to see weight loss. Even long-term people will see weight loss just |
