17 Jun The Fat Loss Challenge

This challenge is for everyone who is interested in fat loss.

This weeks challenge is to switch eating things like bread, pasta, rice, sugary foods, and the like ONLY 1-2 hours after your workout. Even tho you will be following this rule and ”earning” your carbs with your training, you should still focus more on eating whole-grain, unprocessed carbohydrates such as plain quinoa, oats, wholegrain breads, millet, barley, brown rice, etc. This is just a short list of whole-grain unprocessed carbs and you are welcome to add more. Whole grain unprocessed carbohydrates are important to include in our diet because they offer the following benefits:

• They’re high in fiber, helping us maintain a healthy GI tract.

• They’re slow to digest, helping us control blood sugar.

• They’re loaded with vitamins and minerals, improving our nutrient density.

• They’re satisfying, helping us to control our appetite.

However, just because whole grains bring so many benefits doesn’t mean that you should be overeating them. They are dense in carbs and calories and therefore you should control their intake and timing.

This is not a low-carb diet, but rather a way to control your carbohydrate intake for your benefit.

Good luck and let me know how you go!
