Complex Carbs!
I have been trying to do "3 days low carbs and 1 day high carbs" but I can't seem to keep my carbs low on that third day. It is killing me! Diet is so emotional! We are effected so much by how we eat! Sugar is addicting. When you eat sugar it just makes you want more and more! The more sugar you eat, the more addicted you become. I try to gradually reduce my sugar intake when starting to diet for a show. It is almost impossible and unrealistic to go from say 300 carbs a day to 20! Your body will go into shock! I keep a Nutrition journal every day that has: time I ate the food, the amount or serving size, total calories, carbs, protein, fat, sodium and water intake. My workouts: cardio and weight training is listed on the back. I reassess myself every week and concentrate on meeting short term goals to help meet my long term goals.. I also work like this with my clients I personal train, if they want. If you don't keep accurate records, you will not know what is or is not working for you.....everything else is just a guess or an assumption. I am aiming to compete around 118-120 this year. I weigh about 127 now. I competed in my first show your show last year at 127 and the last show, 5 weeks later, I weighed 114.......my complex carbs are staying high due to my occupation as an aerobics instructor and PE teacher.....I cant afford to become too irritable and impatient with those kids....lol.....I just started a 3 low 1 day high carb ......3 days 80-90 carbs and on the fth day 100 or a little more if needed.
