Most of you heard of the low to no carb diets right?.....Well I'm here to tell you do not cut carbs out of your diet. Sure you might lose some wieght by doing it but its not a healthy way. It is a short term diet and afterwards you will just gain the weight back. To lose weight the correct way you must make a healthy change in your diet by adding healthy well balanced foods......not taking them away.
Now I'm not talking about going out and eating a whole bunch of unhealthy carbs. The carbs I'm talking about are your whole grains, fresh fruits and veggies, legumes, ect...
Your daily intake should be between 45% - 65% of carbs. (This is true if you are trying to gain or lose weight!) By taking in the correct amount of carbs you will have more energy and make your workouts more productive. After a workout it is important to replenish the supply, so within 30 min after a workout, eating a carb food is a great way to replenish the energy supply. Plus, complex carbs are high in fiber. Fiber helps collect toxins and fat to eliminate them out of your body! Fiber is known to lower cholesterol, reduce risks for certain cancers, reduce heat disease, reduce risk of diabetes......lots of benefits!
Remember there is no magic pill or diet that will make you lose weight and keep it off. It is all about the balance of nutrition you are fueling your body with. You need to feed the body to make it run efficiantly not stave it of important nutrients.
Salute to living healthier!!!!
