When most people start a diet, they feel like they need to pick a side: low-carb or low-fat. But here’s the truth…
If your total calories and protein are dialed in, the rest doesn’t make a huge difference for fat loss.
What does matter is:
- The foods you actually enjoy eating
- The type of training you’re doing
If you’re training hard (CrossFit, Hyrox, long runs, etc.), you’ll probably feel better with more carbs.
If your week looks more like strength training + walking, higher fat is totally fine.
One common mistake? People say they’re cutting carbs, but what they really mean is they’re cutting sweets. Cake, brownies, ice cream—those are mostly fat. They’re just cutting dessert.
Here’s the good news:
You can eat plenty of high-quality carbs (fruit, oats, rice, potatoes—even pasta for athletes) and still feel lean, strong, and energized.
The real key? Consistency.
There’s no trophy for being team low-carb or team low-fat.
Just fuel your body in a way that supports your training and your life.
