Hi ladies, sorry for the long message but just a quick carb Fact: Well over 90% of people who start a low carb or trendy diet, gain all or more of their weight back within a year of losing it, and from this you can become even worse, like obesity and diabetes. So don’t be afraid of carbs – your body NEEDS them. Carbs stop muscle loss, speed up recovery, provide energy to your brain and body, elevate your metabolic rate, and stimulate your body’s most important fat-burning hormones. Your body needs carbs to keep your metabolism healthy, happy, and burning fat. But there is a “smart” approach you can take to ensure you get all these benefits of carbs WITHOUT fat-storage. It can even help you heal any previous damage you may have done from crash dieting. So basically if you’re not consistently utilizing more carbohydrates than you’re taking in, your muscles and liver will “fill up” with glycogen. When this happens, every time you consume carbs (unless you’re burning them off with strategic exercise) they start to “spillover” and automatically be stored as fat. Here are 3 simple ways you time your carb intake to LIMIT fat-spillover and KEEP your body burning fat. GOOD: A good time of day to eat your favourite carbohydrates is first thing in the a.m. when your metabolic rate is higher and insulin sensitivity is peaking “naturally”. This means there’s more room in your energy tank to let the carbs in without any fat storage. BETTER: An even better time to consume carbs is 3 to 4 hours before you exercise. This will ensure the carbs you consume are burned off during and after the workout to avoid fat-spillover and prevent muscle loss. It will also provide you with increased energy levels throughout your workout. Better performance equals more fat and calories burned during and after the workout. BEST: The best time to consume your favourite carbs is post-workout. When you use the RIGHT TYPE of exercise, your muscles act like a sponge that’s been rung dry, so your body will literally “soak up” all your favourite carbs. Simply put, if you eat carbs with the wrong foods - at the wrong times, you’ll STORE fat. If you eat carbs with the right foods at the right times, you’ll BURN fat.
