Cutting carbs works--bet you don't know why
Your body is brilliant.
It knows how to digest a sweet potato.
It knows how to use the fiber in lentils, the nutrients in berries, the resistant starch in oats.

These are carbohydrates—whole foods with protection, purpose, and healing power. 🥕🍓

But give it a cookie, a soda, a slice of white bread? It scrambles.

Refined foods confuse your system. They spike blood sugar, fuel cravings, and leave nothing behind but inflammation.

That’s why the word “carb” has become shorthand for junk.
It’s a fragment—just like the foods it represents. Stripped of fiber. Stripped of nutrients. Stripped of function.

And here’s the real problem:
“Carb” is only a piece of the word carbohydrate—just like junk food is only a piece of what real food used to be.

But carbohydrates?
They’re the full package.
Intact. Balanced. Biologically useful.

They stabilize blood sugar. Support your microbiome. Help you lose weight.
They’re the real deal—and your body knows it.

So yes—cut the “carbs.” Cut the fragments. 
But keep the carbohydrates.

Your body knows the difference. And now, so do you.

This isn’t new—it’s next-level.
Swap one refined “carb” for a whole carbohydrate.
Trade toast for oats. Chips for chickpeas.
Your body will know exactly what to do.

This blog is dedicated to Irl Flanagan, who was my friend and grammar mentor. Over the last 20 or so years, he spent countless hours editing my manuscripts and teaching me the intricacies of sentence structure and the true meaning and the proper usage of words. 

Irl died 4 months before his 100th birthday.
