‘No carbs before Marbs’ may have become a joke rather than a mantra (it originates from an episode of TOWIE, in case you didn’t know), but plenty of people still believe that cutting carbohydrates from their diet is a fast route to weight loss.
Especially during summer, when there’s a holiday — and the prospect of stripping down to our swimwear — on the horizon (whether the destination is Marbella or not).
