Are Carbohydrates good or bad for fat loss ?
Hi everyone Jeff, again, it was a late start to the day for me today, but I wanted to get before I head to the gym and get some practice . I'll probably do some foam rolling , movement preparation, heavy farmer door and some intervals on the bike to save his shoulder hurt. I was recovering from a chronic shoulder injury, and things really start to come together with it!
I hope your training is strong right now, and I hope you do well with your diet . Remember, this is not to be perfect with your diet , but constant improvements and always looking in a given area. And if you're at the lowest with your health and fitness do not let that deter you either, remember a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.
Today I want to talk about the issue are carbohydrates are good or bad for fat loss ? We 've all heard," carbs are good", " carbs are bad ", " avoid carbs like the plague ", " get your carbs or you will die ." Well maybe I have not heard the last , but I wanted to add a little dramatic effect.
For the sake of today I will address this as realistically as possible. Realism that led me to the position of "it depends" camp. I
know many people hate the middle of the road or the response and
approach closing , but there are so many variables when it comes to
whether carbohydrates are good or bad for fat loss.
But there are several factors that must be considered.
- Age
- The level of activity ( sedentary , active, very active)
- Exercise intensity ( low , moderate intensity , high intensity )
- Frequency of exercise ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 x per week)
- The health situation ( health , healthy )
- Weight (over weight , obese, lean)
Here's some of what we know.
Carbohydrates are a great energy and provided the connection of glucose that allows you to power through a workout . This glucose provides energy for your workout can apparently also be produced in a less efficient way , but still effective , consumption of certain fats in a low carb style diet. This would good workouts and efficient management of energy every day, but must be weighed and examined with the same variables mentioned above.
However, if this is the case, then one ( including me) can certainly consider the omission or reduction of carbohydrate intake , which increases the consumption of healthy fats and see how your body reacts to the course of a week or two . You would still have glucose for energy , insulin remain stable and you may even be able to burn more fat in this type of situation.
And there are several other studies showing low carb diets vs. low fat where weight loss is about the same after 6 and 12 months, but fat loss is greater in the low -carbohydrate groups .
Hold your horses here , you may think that I advocated for a middle of the road approach here and do not know where to go when it comes to a low carb diet and its effect on loss fat. All I wanted to do here above mentioned part of the research material , I met and was presented with .
Does that mean I'm going low carb all the time? No.
Does this mean that I recommend to all my clients go low carb all the time? No.
Does that mean I have good evidence to support my rational approach to test a low -carb ? Yes !
On a side note , I even encourage everyone to try different types of diets that include vegan, low carb, high-carbohydrate , low-fat, ketogenic diet , paleo / primal , and much more that I can not think for the moment.
The fact remains that this means two things:
1 . Each diet does not work for everyone!
2 . No scheme still works!
In closing , I would like you to think about a number of things to consider and refine your approach to carbohydrates.
Try a low -carb approach . I actually felt great , melt off body fat and still had the energy to exercise. Give it some time and see how your body reacts . This will be particularly useful if you have a more sedentary life.
After a month or if you have not had a pleasant experience with it, then you know that this is not for you. If you are very active and intense exercise, do not forget to snap your carbs in your post workout window . Your body will ask, and if you do not reward after a hard workout your recovery , health and longevity will be compromised.
I hope this does not add to the confusion about carbohydrates and if they contribute to fat loss or not . If this were the case, then please post questions below in the comment section and we can start the discussion. What are your thoughts and experiences on the low -carbohydrate approach ? How do you feel about carbs? Let me know!
