How to Lose Weight in Your Legs in a Week
Recommended Answer:
If you don't have blood sugar problems (eg: diabetes) you don't need to concern yourself with sugar. What you do need to concern yourself with are your macronutrients which include carbs. All of your carbs will ultimately be digested and converted to sugar....glucose. It's that glucose that supports your activity and provides your body with energy. So, you'll get more sugar than you might think. What's important is how you get that glucose...what you eat. Complex carbs are generally better than simple sugar unless you have a reason for needing sugar such as running a marathon. Sugar is not bad and carbs are not bad. What is bad is consuming sugar without the nutrients that should accompany it. That's why it's better to get your sugar from an apple or orange than from a Coke or cupcake. Here's how you should eat.Whether you want to gain weight, lose weight, add muscle, or maintain, you should use the same diet. In other words, everyone should be eating essentially the same macro nutrients (carbs, fats, protein), micro nutrients (vitamins, minerals, fiber, etc.) barring special health or medical considerations because we all have essentially the same physiognomy and there is only one version of peak health. Here is how we should all eat according to the US National Institute of Health who are among the best health professionals in the world and the people doctors listens to in the US.OPTIMAL INTAKEEat varied, wholesome, and high quality foods such that your daily caloric intake is about equal to your daily caloric burn while keeping your macro nutrient ratios at about 55/25/20 (%calories from carbs/fats/protein) or whatever works for your goals. Go here for more about macros --> http://www.freedieting.com/tools/nutrient_calculator.htm . Only slight changes should be made in the macro nutrient ratios to accommodate the extreme demands of special activities such as extreme athletics or inactivity due to illness.Note: Here are the details in case you're interested:http://health.gov/dietaryguidelines/2010.asp http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/nutrition.htmlYOU MUST make your own food choices (no supplements without a doctor's recommendation) based on your location, culture, available foods, personal preferences, personal resources, food allergies, etc. However, the words "varied", "wholesome", and "high quality" are important. And, you should consume your food in 4-6 daily meals with healthy snacks between such that you're nourishing yourself every two hours when awake. VARIED means a variety of foods including fruits, dairy, meats, vegetables, grains, nuts, etc. WHOLESOME means as unprocessed, unrefined, nutritious as is practical.HIGH QUALITY means using the best ingredients, the least contaminants or fillers or unnecessary chemicals, etc.TRACKINGNutrient tracking is necessary to ensure you have the optimal caloric intake and macro nutrient balance. For most people, tracking is only required for fat loss because of the difficulty in cutting intake and nutrients while maintaining digestive and appetite satisfaction. However, tracking is an excellent exercise for noobs who are just learning how to eat right for the first time. Tracking makes it necessary to read labels, look up food nutrients, record data, plan meals and recipes, etc. And, as annoying as it may be to have to track, it is easier to do today than ever before with the help of website such as My Fitness Pal ---> http://www.myfitnesspal.com. Just saying you do "cardio" is meaningless. However, assuming you just do a nominal amount, it will not have a substantial effect on your sugar RDA. Like I said, if you eat right, you don't need to worry about sugar. Like all other nutrients, sugar can be good or bad. It all depends how much you get and how your get it.Good luck and good health!!♠
