4 reasons to keep Carbs in your diet!
🔹 Main Source of Energy
Carbs are the main source of energy in the form of glycogen.
When performing weight training especially strength work that is what the body uses, and if you do not have a sufficient amount in your diet it will be hard to progress your training in the long term
I’ve done the whole fats diet and Keto back in the day and it was so hard to progress my training, as soon as I switched my diet up, over the next few years, all my lifts drastically sky rocketed
🔹More Volume than Fats
Especially when dieting you get a lot more volume from carbohydrates and for anyone who has been in a fat loss phase it is all about volume to keep yourself fuller
There is 9kcals in a gram of Fat and 4 calories in a gram of carbs and protein
🔹Everything has Carbs in it
When socialising especially it can be very hard to keep to a high fat diet, near every food when out and about that is convenient has carbs in it
When I am out and about it is so much easier to track my calories and stay on point without having to prep my food everyday
🔹 Carbs are amazing
One of the biggest reasons to keep carbs in your diet they are so damn good
I love my diet, I love bagels, coco pops, rice, oats, sweets and it is all possible by keeping carbs in my diet and the best thing about my diet, it’s sustainable and it compliments my training
I don’t feel restrictions and I am able to continue achieving the best results and you can too
