Carbs/Recovery

To get results from your nutrition program, you've got to eat quality carbs.

But what's the difference between good and bad carbs you ask? Good question...

Quality carbs are known complex carbs such as whole grain cereals, brown rice, oats, quinoa, sweet potatoes + vegetables. They're digested more slowly and will also feed your body necessary nutrients over time.

Simple carbs are the things we know we shouldnt be eating like cakes, cookies, candy, ice cream + white bread. These are usually lower in healthy nutrients, higher in calories + they'll spike your metabolism, leaving you in an energy slump or a 'crash' later.

Carbohydrates are one of the main three macro-nutrients along with proteins and fats that will form the base of your diet, regardless of your goal.

By getting in some quality carbohydrate sources you'll experience:

• Steady energy levels
• Solid recovery rates from your workouts
• Stable metabolism

Carbs pre/post training can make a world of difference to your energy during training and your recovery afterwards.

Don't be scared of carbs, they are not your enemy, they are one of your best buddies...
