This is from the point of view of transforming your body via a set mind and a stringent workout routine, along with proper/optimal nutrition.
We are NOT talking Atkins Diet, however, calories from Carbs do not burn as efficient as protein calories. One of the main reasons is that many carbs contain high fructose corn syrup. This substance is detrimental to insulin levels and tricks the body into gaining/holding onto weight & confuses the appetite controls.
Currently the most researched and noted amino acid for weight loss is Leucine. It has been shown to improve preformance in high intensity exercise. It also has been proven to disrupt insulin activity, which is helpful in weight control.
Sounds crazy, right? Sciene-wise, it is not. When the body does not have available calories, it will tap into stored fat (adipose fat). The combo of fasting + exercise forces the body to breakdown fat and glycogen for energy during your workout. The key is what you eat AFTER that will bring the best recovery from exercise. You want to feed the muscles well so they can repair & grow.
Human Growth Hormone increases output when you undergo high levels of intense activity or very slow weight training for lengthy amounts of time (minimum of 30 min). This hormone is know as the "fitness hormone", helping the body to build muscle mass.
The following food sources are specific for muscle recovery & Leucine consumption (amino acid):
Natural Whey Protein
Raw Cheddar Organic Cheese
Free Range Bison
Alaskan Salmon
Almonds
Chick Peas & Hummus
Organic Free Range Eggs
* Leucine health properties: Anti-inflammatory, thermogenic, muscle builder.
