Consumption of all three macronutrients – protein, fat, and carbohydrates – get taken to extremes when it comes to our health and especially when talking about weight or fat loss. However, all three macronutrients are incredibly important and vital to our health. With that said, far too often you hear extreme examples of macronutrient consumption like no-carb and high-carb diets, both of which have no middle ground, little flexibility, and limited longevity. This Episode will explain what carbohydrates are, how they function in our bodies, why you need carbohydrates, healthy food sources of carbohydrates, and storage of carbohydrates.

In this episode we delve deeper into the world of Proteins. We have a look at Essential Amino Acids, Where protein comes from and the quantity you need. We look at the big picture and a story about Rabbit Starvation.

The major food groups we consume can be broken down into two main categories: macronutrients and micronutrients. These are terms you might have heard thrown around in the past, but perhaps you’re unsure what they mean? The macronutrients are carbohydrates, proteins and fats. You define a macronutrient as something that you require in large quantities in your diet (or sometimes as the major sources of energy). In this episode we look at the three Macros and touch briefly on them and give you a quick introduction into each one, what food they are found in and how much you need.
