There is a lot of miss leading information about low carbohydrate diets being the best way for fat loss.
First up, whatever you’ve read with this in, please discard that info. It will just add more confusion than is needed.
Saying that, there is a bit of truth to this but only if you take the piss… i.e eat like a horse and consume rubbish breakfast cereal, jaffa cakes and expect to lose weight.
It’s not going to happen.
But you know that already, so I’m not going to treat you like you don’t know what food is.
Anyway in reality, low carb diets will lead to low glycogen levels (the energy stored in your muscles).
When you consider that glycogen is the optimum fuel for muscles, then does a low carb diet make sense? No… Atkins ring any bells??
By eating carbohydrate in the right amounts at the right time, it can be one of the most important nutritional considerations for fat loss.
Why? Because your energy levels will be crap, you will have constant mood swings and struggle to muster up any motivation to do exercise and burn fat effectively while you exercise.
So when is the best time to eat carbs? That would be breakfast.
In order that you exercise about 2-3 times a week. If more, then you want to be following a different protocol.
Anyway, when you consume a decent meal in the morning it will have a huge affect on your brain chemistry and stabilise your blood sugar level for hours, which is great for fat loss.
That also means when mid morning hits, you won’t be chomping on your own arm looking for your next sugar fix. Which is what bread and cereal will do to your cravings.
The reason why people should eat carbs at breakfast is because it helps reduce stress levels and helps to fuel the brain. When the brain senses low glucose levels (what the human body lives on) it become agitated and this can cause stress hormones to be released, leading to a sense of anxiety , which you can imagine why this isn’t the best way to start your day.
So save yourself the drama of someone saying ‘ohh someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning’ ;-P and responding with ‘shut it!’. This would irritate me even more… haha. So a few tweaks to your meals will help you get far better all-round results than you already are.
Better energy, better mood and far better weight loss or more importantly, fat loss, which will slim down your body shape for good.
This is what we will help you work on in the ProjectU January Jumpstart.
We are almost at capacity for the jumpstart. So if you want a place you better join today as the first weeks plan goes up on the members group tomorrow.
PEACE!
