Some of you might be thinking, what’s a rice and potato soup doing on a website focused on creating a better physic? Isn’t that too many carbs for weight loss?
Yes and no.
First of all, there’s a lot of benefit to reducing carbs. Just as there’s a lot of benefit to reloading them.
Reloading Carbs and it’s link to fat loss
Health experts and exercise enthusiasts like Dr David Jockers, Ben Greenfield and Mike Mutzel, who speak highly of a low carb diet approach to fat loss all agree that reloading on carbs, is a good idea. The key is to save them for your dinner meal.
Saving your carbs for the evening meal sets the stage for deep sleep which, in the end helps with fat loss through proper hormone signalling.
You also get the added benefit to feeling more rested in the morning which motivates you to exercise.
Choosing the right carbs to reload
Good carbs to consider ‘reloading’ include the starchy carbs, like yams, sweet potatoes, potatoes, parsnips, and winter squashes. And/or whole grains like rice, quinoa, and buckwheat.
Just make sure your grains are proper soaked and/or sprouted to allow for proper assimilation and digestion.
