Correlate Carbohydrate Intake to Activity Level – Controlling Insulin Production

As author Mark Sisson would say, “[i]t’s all about insulin”. You must take the time to understand the metabolic process associated with the intake of carbs and realize that the body views carbs essentially as sugars.  Watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNYlI…layer_embedded.

Excess insulin causes all sorts of problems.  Insulin has an essential role.  Without it our blood sugar would rise to toxic levels.  However, if you keep producing too much of it (because your carb intake is too high), you will become insulin resistant, perhaps even Type 2 Diabetic.

Everyone has different fitness goals, and getting the right amount of carbs is key. Limiting carbs, in particular SUGAR, to the amount you need to support your goals is essential. Most people find they need more carbs when doing Insanity than they would doing P90X, but everyone is different.  If you can limit carb intake to below 150 grams per day, you will see fat loss results.

Limit foods that make your blood acidic

Huh? Watch this: http://www.blogger.com/2009/11/how-diet-soda-makes-you-fat/. Soda…get rid of it. It is poisoning your blood. Water…drink way more of it. It helps refresh your blood.
