Quotes to ponder:
"Your body stores very limited amounts of readily available glucose. If not replenished, your stores become depleted, and your body has to make the shift to using fat for fuel."
"Carbs from whole food sources that have all of their fiber and nutrients intact typically have a pretty low glycemic index."
"Just because the sweet potato isn’t working for you specifically doesn’t mean it’s time to banish carbs altogether."
