Earn Your Carbohydrate
The media has done a superb job of demonizing one of nature’s primary nutrients – the carbohydrate. Unfortunately, they’ve done you, the consumer, a great disservice by boycotting carbohydrates, a major source of energy for our bodies. You see, the issue isn’t if you should eat carbohydrates, it’s about when you should eat them. And that should only be when you deserve them!
The main case against carbohydrates is that they slows down your ability to burn fat by stoking your body’s insulin level. Avoiding carbs during “normal” times of day is advisable. However, following an intense workout, the body wants, needs and craves insulin and carbohydrates for recovery. Research has shown that consuming carbohydrates immediately after a workout dramatically increases recovery, improves muscle tone and decreases muscle soreness – and it does not hamper your fat-burning ability one iota.
Do you eat carbs post workout? If so, what’s your favorite post-workout meal?
To your fat-loss success,Joel Marion
