Wow! I just listened in to a nutrition class that focused on the relationship between what you eat, when you eat and how that has a direct impact on your blood sugar and your metabolism. Here are a few key concepts that I picked up.
- Carbs are not evil- if you do not fuel your body with carbs, your body will turn to muscle to find energy
- Do not go more than 4 hours without eating.
- Being hydrated can help you boost your metabolism 30% (10-12 glasses a day)
- Every meal should have no fewer than 10 grams of protein and no more than 30 grams of carbs.... so, what does that mean you can eat?
- brown rice cake and 3oz of sliced meat (get it sliced at the deli counter- your meat SHOULD expire)
- 1/4 Cup of strawberries and 1/2 cup of low fat cottage cheese.
- 1/4 Cup of diced apple, mixed greens, 2 Tbsp of almonds, 4 oz of chicken breast
- 1/2 Cup of Greek yogurt and 1 scoop of Advocare Muscle Gain
- 4oz of salmon, 1/4 cup of brown rice, 1/2 cup of veggies
- 25 almonds
I have got some more suggestions which I will continue to pass on. You can email if you have specific questions about how to incorporate these principles on a daily basis.
