(S7 E21) It’s that time of the year! Not the holidays, but time to review the role carbohydrates play in our diet. Kate and Rick discuss this important nutrient, and explain why being conscious of its intake can lead to a healthier lifestyle and long-term wellbeing. They review what exactly carbs are and where they lurk, differentiate the "good" carbs from the "bad" carbs, and most importantly, offer tips and techniques for how to reduce and replace them. Also, net carbs are all the rage now-a-days, so it’s time to get clear on what they are and how to calculate them. Two great recipes make it to the podcast this episode: a broccoli cheese soup and tarator soup - and yes, you will have to tune in to find out what that is.
