The Truth About Low Fat Snacks
Low fat manufactured products are destroyers of energy. Most health
foods contain very low fat or no fat at all. Problem is, instead
of fats, they are packed with sugar, or worse high Fructose Corn
Syrup. This includes: fat-free fruit yogurt, energy bars, granola
bars, light- cereal and protein bars. These make you FAT! And SICK!
Why? Immediately after eating foods that contains sugar or high-fructose
corn syrup, your blood sugar hits the roof. The pancreas goes into
emergency mode to rectify this, by secreting insulin. It tends to
secrete more that your body actually needs...just in case, which
drops your blood sugars too low, making you feel very tired, AND
crave more sugar!
All this sugar is converted to FAT. It's a vicious cycle.
Instead:
- Substitute all sugar and high fructose corn syrup products
with Xylitol, Splenda or Stevil.
- Replace simple carbs with complex carbs. Eat sweet potato instead
of potato, have brown rice instead of white rice, have whole grain
bread instead of white bread.
The first 5-6 days may be a bit difficult as your blood sugar
levels out. But persevere, you will find a spike in energy that
just lasts and lasts.
Muscle Building Protein
A muscle building exercise program increases the metabolic requirement
for certain amino acids,which serve as building blocks for stress
hormones and energy compounds, and are required in extra amounts
during times of high-energy demand and extreme mental and physical
stress.
Insufficient nutrients in the muscles, means that the muscle goes
into glycogen depletion, severely impacting performance and recovery,
and even resulting in muscle loss.
To ensure that we are both providing the right type of muscle energy
and at the right time we need to understand:
