What is a Carbavoid?

A Carbavoid is a person who recognizes and avoids carbs that turn directly to fat once consumed.

Throughout this web site, I hope to make this concept easy to understand so that we can begin to turn around the acceleration of obesity and diabetes, especially in children.

Over the past 20 or so years, the incidence of diabetes in children has become alarming.  Is it any wonder that in the same time frame, the shelves of grocery stores have become flooded with sugar-laden foods and beverages?  We are creating a generation of sugar addicts.

It is very confusing to read a label that says a product is 100% “fat free”, but understand that once that product is consumed it can become 100% fat in our bodies.  That’s because our body is conditioned to keep our blood sugar level within a tight range.  If we drink a 12-ounce soda, for example, with a meal we are adding approximately 150 calories that we simply do not need for energy (unless you plan to immediately go for a run for 15 minutes).  Those calories will be converted into fat.  Imagine if that cola is “super-sized”.  Now you have quadrupled those calories and the fat that comes with it…all from a product that is marketed as “fat-free”!
