She breaks down the differences between simple vs. complex carbs, refined vs. unrefined, and explain how low-carb diets may do more harm than good over time.
Plus, Michelle shares science-backed recommendations from the World Health Organization and the Institute of Medicine, and how even diabetics can thrive on high-carb, whole-food diets.
