🥑 Make smarter food choices. Become a member at http://zoe.com Carbs are one of the most misunderstood aspects of nutrition. For decades, they’ve been praised, demonized, and debated. While over 80% of the carbs we eat come from low-quality, refined sources, the right kinds of carbs are essential for good health. In this episode, Professor Tim Spector breaks down the difference between good and bad carbs and explains why quality matters more than quantity. He explores how the rise of ultra-processed foods has led to an overconsumption of unhealthy carbohydrates, contributing to energy crashes, hunger, and long-term health issues. He also explains the benefits of fiber-rich carbs, their role in gut health, and why cutting carbs entirely may not be the best approach. The episode also answers common questions about carbs, including the best time to eat them, how to pair them for better digestion, and whether alternatives like almond flour are actually healthier. Tim also shares practical tips, such as why freezing bread might be a simple way to make it better for you. 🌱 Try our new plant based wholefood supplement - Daily30: https://zoe.com/daily30?utm_medium=zo...
