All the girls go “Fries before guys!” And how about fries before weight loss? And how about fries leading to weight loss? The third option sounds just about right.
The only question is, how? Here’s what you need to do:
Watch your calorie intake
No, no. You don’t have to turn into a calorie freak. Just keep a close watch on your carbohydrate intake. Although, it is recommended that you should eat greens and pulses to stay healthy. But sometimes you have to give into your indulgence of pizzas, burgers and of course fries. So what to do after having this guilty pleasure? The answer is simple. Just cut the calories in your next meal. Have a bowl full of veggies and you are good to go. This will compensate for the extra calories that you consumed earlier. You can also add taste enhancers like chicken, paneer, cheese to your veggie bowl, but in little quantity only. Let the vegetables be the star of the show!
What is the right time to eat the carbohydrates?
1. Break-the-fast with carbs: When you feed your body with carb-rich foods right at the start of your day, you give your body an entire day them. That means an energetic start to the day minus the weight gain. Just don’t forget the mantra of moderation.
2. Pre-workout meal: Eating carbs prior to a workout means applying the same principle as above through exercise. The only problem with this one is that your body might not be able to burn the fat since you’ll be providing it with carbs. Dilemma? Don’t worry, move to the next point.
3. Post-workout treat: This one is a smart way to let the fat burn, and also keep the muscles healthy. Basically, no carbs before workout means your body will draw energy from fats. And carbs after the workout will replenish your body. So this one is a win-win situation.
So people, eat whatever you want, just in moderation and on time.
