Tip—Weight management

Its been a minute since I have done tips I have been busy getting ready for a shoot among other things.

3 things happen when you eat all dependent on your metabolic state.

1)  You store the food in your muscle

2)  You store the food in the adipose tissue (fat)

3)  You convert the food into energy

This is why nutrient timing…particularly carbohydrate timing is important if you are trying to lose weight  quick-fast- and in a hurry —or if you are trying to gain weight while minimizing fat gain. This means depending on what time you eat carbohydrates (carbohydrates  are not bad by the way)  determines what’s going to happen  to it.  

To break this down shot gun style, If you want to expedite the process of weight loss :

Carbs in the morning = Yay!  =)

Carbs before workout (60-90 mins before work out or during with a shake)  = Yay! =)

Carbs after workout (best within 60 min up to within 4 hours) = Yay!  =)

Carbs  at rest ( 4 or more hours pre or post workout) = no! booooo :(
