Greenberry Shakeology Recipe: Apple Mojito

By

Let’s face it, carbs taste good. Any excuse to add them to a meal if fine by most people. Problem is, most people don’t necessarily need to carbo-load. Consider this: an athletic male with 7% body fat as 25-30,000 built in calories from fat stores. That’s enough carbs to crank out 250-300 miles. So do you really need to add carbs the night before your 5 or 10K?

No, what you need to do is to let your body learn to live on less carbs altogether. It can take some time to adjust, but once you do, you may find you can perform better on less.

So unless you have a major endurance event the next day, carbo-loading may do more harm than good.

I recently took part in a 90 day Challenge Group through Facebook hosted and lead by Matthew Pryor. With daily ‘check-ins’ and inspirational writing by Matthew, the experience was exactly what I needed. I needed accountability and motivation and that’s what Matthew facilitated for us. My exercise and diet habits have changed for the better and I’m thankful to Matthew for helping me accomplish that.
