MISSION #14 - TIME YOUR CARBS


Back in caveman days, there was no bread, no rice, no pasta, no cereal. 

We used to hunt all day just to get a big hunk of meat, and pick some fresh foods from the trees or the ground. 

We got by fine and even developed into the pinnacle of mankind that we are today (well some of us!!).

The body does need carbs as brain function is dependent on glucose to some degree, but we definitely don't need them in huge amounts. 

A good way to keep your carbs all in check is to keep all carbs that aren’t fruit and vegetable, to the 60mins post training (the type of training we discussed in point 9) window.

This will ensure that whatever “bad” carbs we ingest, goes towards recovery from the workout and thus results in minimal fat storage.

The Science of Nutrient Timing –

Work Book Exercise: As you have now scheduled in your training times in your weekly diary, now organise your carb intake around it which means you may have to rethink breakfast, lunch or dinner on these days. Yes you can have eggs at any time of the day, they are not exclusive to breakfast and the same with steak even!
