![The case for CARBS](https://cdn.magzter.com/1385594623/1690764433/articles/Q6RyNlrlD1690788947879/THE-CASE-FOR-CARBS.jpg)
From mashed potatoes to warming bowls of delicious pasta, winter is the perfect time to enjoy anything starchy, bready or grainy.
However, enjoying carbs can come with its fair share of wondering if you’re overindulging.
“One of the most common misconceptions about carbohydrates is that they lead to weight gain,” nutritionist and lead recipe developer for Equalution, Greer Calabro, says. However, “Low-carb diets, while having evidence of short-term weight loss, are no more effective than a traditional caloric restriction.”
In fact, Greer explains carbohydrates aren’t the enemy, they’re actually our best friend – especially in winter.
WHY ARE THEY IMPORTANT?
Greer says carbohydrates are the easiest form of fuel for our body to access – not just during the cooler months, but all year round.
