They said "stop eating carbs", there's no distinction being made, which is the point I'm calling out.

My frustration is with people and instagrammers who sprout "I quit sugar", "I quit carbs", when they haven't. They've just cut eating too much simple or processed sugars/carbs.

It sends the wrong message.

You sit on the Sugar Cane Council?

Im on the balanced diet committee. But I actively lobby against the ‘cut all of x because I can’t control myself and you should too’ Union.

Yes I probably oversimplified my stance. I still eat carbs, just drastically reduced my intake. Especially highly processed carbs, and now aim for complex carbs as much as possible.
