Become strong and healthy so you can keep up with me this summer and for years to come. I want to see you accept your body and realize that healthy people come in all shapes and sizes. I want you to choose foods for health not just their fat or carbohydrate content. I want you to quit looking for a magical solution and realize the abundance of magic you have within. Know that I care.
Half truths are hard to debate.
Yes, excess carbohydrates can make you fat. But, so do excess calories from protein or fat. Many other cultures with traditionally high carbohydrate intakes have lower rates of obesity and diabetes than the United States. Yes, excess insulin can enhance fat storage. But being overweight is directly linked to inactivity and excess calories, not extra insulin.
