Description

JJ dives deep into the topic of carbs and sugars during this show, specifically in how many carbs we should eat. Unfortunately there is not a single answer to that question, since it depends on several aspects regarding individual health and lifestyle choices. JJ manages to break down what we need to do in 4 simple steps. Take action today, and experience the transformation!   Key takeaways: [1:10] How many carbs or sugars you should eat? It depends!

[6:16] Have you got adrenal fatigue? [7:18] Are you an athlete? [7:45] This is how you figure this out: more fiber, more vegetables, more water, but there is differences on individual levels. Genetics and lifestyle play a great factor. [8:38] Step 1: Taper down your carbs, make little changes to bring down the sugar impact. [10:44] Step 2: Clean the system to figure out what is going on. At least two weeks. [11:38] Step 3: See how the symptoms start to go away. [13:38] Step 4: When you start to feel your New Normal, then prove how certain foods affect your health and energy.
