What different kinds of protein are there? What about plant based or vegan protein?</p> <p>What are simple carbs vs complex carbs? What kinds of fiber are there and how much do we need? Why are carbs so important for women?</p> <p>And finally, fats - what varieties of fat should we be looking for, and are there any we should be avoiding?&nbsp;</p> <p>We also discuss the misunderstanding about "fat burning", and what it actually means.&nbsp;</p> <p><br> We couldn't talk about fiber without talking about digestion and poop - here's the Bristol Stool Chart we mention on the podcast:<br> https://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/poop-chart-bristol-stool-scale</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/be-well-cartel/message
