careful not to overdo it on the treadmill as doing the same motion for more than 20mins and your body wont react as well and burn despite popular belief.
Carbs to stay away from:
white bread
processed foods
fizzy drinks
Some carbs have multipurpose benifits for example
jacket potato has more vitamin c than 5 oranges if you eat the skin as well, mix that with some tuna and spinach and you got yourself a good nutritional meal with good carbs. Carbs is an energy fuel, so youll want to match your cardio to the amount of carbs you have taken that day in order to lose. If you over train then you will eat into your muscle and lose body composition. If you under train then your body will naturally store the excess carbs you had eaten and store as fat. You cant excrete carbs as easily as you can protein unfortunatly as your body cannot store protein, yet it is vital for muscle repair and growth
grapefruit is excellent way of speeding up your metabolism as is green tea
With my GF cousin who won personal trainer of the year and trains alot of stars we are releasing some products end of the year will help everyone out in training as really straight forward and results really work if you put effort in, it covers both nutrition and training. Will speak to mods if can advertise on here and sell once its ready to release and work out a % towards this site on every sale
In meantime if you want a training plan or help with nutrition Id be more than happy to help out and its completely free to members on here, saves you paying some wally at a gym who just reads from a text book and doesnt know if the workout or nutrition really works or not
Cheers Jay,
I appreciate what your saying about the treadmill but surely 40 mins on the treadmill is better than 20 mins on it and then twenty on my arse eating cake?
I take your point about overtraining eating into muscle but isn't that what I want. I want to trim down not bulk up. I ain't tall enough to turn myself into the hulk
Ooops, didn't know there was carbs to avoid in fizzy drinks! Just had a massive white bread sandwich washed down with lemonade
My problem is that I can motivate myself to exercise i just can't be arsed to eat vegtables and stuff, its sooo dull
