CARBS ARE NOT THE ENEMY
There are so many different diets people follow in regards to carbs.
So do you have to give up all carbs to have nice abs or to drop the weight??
LOW carb doesn't not mean NO carb.
Each individual is different in regards to body type or genetics but we could all focus on nutritious, healthy carbs.
Carbohydrates do raise blood sugar, because they provide so much of your body’s preferred source of fuel: glucose. When glucose levels rise, your pancreas releases a flood of insulin that prompts cells to store sugar.
Low - Carb weight loss plans do work – for a little while. Pounds drop quickly at first because burning stored carbs (called glycogen) releases water. Simply getting you to lose excess water weight.
Many Low - Carb products are packed with as many, or even more, calories than “regular carb” versions. Many are higher in fat.
“It’s the calories, not the carbohydrates.” We gain weight because people are eating more calories than they are burning.
Choose moderate to fast - digesting (low-fat) sources of protein, such as egg whites, low - fat fish, turkey breast, chicken breast, whey protein and soy protein. carbs should be low-glycemic and slow-digesting to prevent insulin surges, which could limit fat-burning during the workout. Whole grains, fruit, brown rice and oatmeal are excellent choices.
So to ensure that your body has enough fuel to optimally drive your heavier workouts and start the muscle-building and recovery process, I challenge you to take in the right kind of nutrients before you step into the gym.
