Most can appreciate looking for that 1 most impactful thing they can find or do to make a difference. There is a reason why carbs have been singled out as that one thing to focus on, in the drive towards metabolic health; of the (only) 3 macro nutrients; they have the biggest impact on blood sugars once digested. High levels of blood sugar has damaging effects on the body. They also lead to high insulin levels which eventually becomes part of a vicious cycle of escalating insulin and blood sugar levels. Thankfully, according to the National Academy of Medicine, carbs are also the only macro nutrient that is not essential to life. That means, as long as you have enough proteins and fats, you can live well without carbs.
As always, make an informed choice.
