192: “Clean” and “Dirty” Carbs – Fact or Myth?

Nutrition professionals and trainers argue back and forth on the importance or whole grains or the reality of flexible dieting when done correctly – it can incorporate refined grains and good results can still be obtained.

This leads to further pros and cons discussion of consuming diets higher in either.
