NUTS FOR NUTS

Here’s a typical example of some people overdoing their protein fix. Don’t get us wrong, it’s true, and a lot of nutritionists, dieticians say that nuts are good for you. But not to the degree that it is all you eat. Your grocery bag is all nuts, and you’re all happy because you know you feed your brain and make you lean. Here’s the thing though, your brain and body need carbohydrates too.

While nuts are healthy and have all the minerals, vitamins, and good fats, they still lack the carbs the brain and muscles are fueling from. Ever wonder why you’d sometimes feel exhausted like you need to nap? Check on your carb consumption, because you might be running low. A little sugar will do!
