286: The Carbohydrate Conundrum: Debunking Myths and Understanding Complex vs. Refined Carbs | Maya's Tip
Manage episode 358892067 series 2968341
Welcome to today's podcast episode, where we will discuss health tips about carbohydrates. The topic of carbohydrates is often misunderstood, with many saying that they avoid carbs but not specifying whether they are referring to complex or refined carbohydrates.
In this episode, we will look at the differences between the two, the health benefits of being on a whole foods plant-based diet, and address some common myths about carbohydrates. We will also refer to Dr. John McDougall's book, "The Starch Solution," which offers a comprehensive guide to the health benefits of a plant-based, high-starch diet. So, let's dive in and explore the fascinating world of carbohydrates.
Key takeaways
- There is a lot of misinformation about carbohydrates.
- Complex carbohydrates (starches) are found in whole plant foods, take longer to digest, and provide sustained energy and essential nutrients. Refined carbohydrates (sugars) are often found in processed foods, provide quick energy but little nutrition, and can lead to weight gain and health problems when consumed in excess.
- Dr. John McDougall debunks myths associated with carbohydrates, including that they cause weight gain, are not satisfying, and are not suitable for people with diabetes.
