Hey hope your doing great!

 

Last week I didn't get to put out a blog post due to experiencing a death in the family.

 

After much reflecting on the death, it made me ponder about my own life is and what my purpose is… For now I'd rather not get to into my personal philosophy about the meaning of life…

(I’ll send you an email once I figure it out )

 

I do know that we all have innate gifts that we are born with and life plan that unfolds as we age.

 

I am certain that my purpose is to help others transform themselves, improve their health and do it in a way that's as painless as possible…Well, most of the time.

 

As many of you know I was a chubby dude most of my life and it wasn't until my early twenties when I took control of over my life and enhanced my physical appearance…

 

Believe me it was a tough road, but in through this experience I saw health and fitness through the eyes of an overweight person.

It made me create my own training and nutrition system called the Life Fuel Fitness program.

(For more info about my story, check out about the ABOUT tab on the top of this page)

 

As much as I have changed my physique, I still see that chubby kid in the mirror staring back at me  when I allow myself to indulge and pig out from time to time.

 

I don't think "he" will ever go away…

 

You know what, that’s what keeps me going and learning new methods on how to help keep myself healthy and figure out the best way to help YOU get Leaned and Toned as easy and fast as possible…

 

I'm always researching for loop holes stealthy ways to hack into your body and mind and get you in the best shape with the minimal effort

I always say that I am truly blessed to make a living off of my Passion and at the same time help other advance their lives and feel better about themselves.

Here is one of my clients…Jas she is Kicking Ass! 

Lost 13 lbs and 3 dress sizes!!!

 

 

I must warn you this is NOT a general exercise and nutrition website, if you want one of those there are thousands of them on the internet…

 

This is a place to learn the cutting edge and esoteric information that I currently use in my life and with my clients to get to our goals faster and easier than the conventional "out dated and ineffective" methodology!

 

Think of this site as the MAC computer for Fitness, Nutrition and Psychology….I Take information that’s complex and tedious and make it easy to use and practical to improve YOUR life.

 

Now I'm back and ready to help you reach your goals… this week I am going to discuss a sneaky trick regarding on how carbohydrates can be good or bad!

 

 

We have all heard that carbohydrates are evil; some of us have even discriminated against carbohydrates and eliminated them out of their diet completely. 

 

A question that I often get asked is: “What are good carbs?”

 

Scientists have developed a way to measure how quickly a carbohydrate is absorbed into the blood stream. It is called the glycemic index, which scale from 0-100.

 

The lower the carbohydrate is on the index, the slower it digests and the better it is for you. 

Carbs that are high on the index absorb faster and have a higher chance to lead to fat gain and other health problems. 

For example, sugar is close to 100 on the glycemic index.

 

 

I have attached a list of low glycemic index carbohydrates. If you consume the carbohydrates on the list you will improve your health and enhance your fitness goals. Make sure you have them in your diet…

 

A low glycemic food plan is beneficial for:

· helping balance blood glucose and insulin levels

· reducing excess body fat levels

· increasing sports performance

· reducing hunger and keep you full for longer periods of time

 

Low-Glycemic Index Carbs+ Fats:    Less Than 50
Artichoke <15 Asparagus <15 Avocado < 15 Broccoli <15 Cauliflower <15 Celery <15 Cucumber <15 Eggplant <15 Green beans <15 Lettuce, all varieties <15 Low-fat yogurt, <15 Peanuts <15 Peppers, all varieties <15 Snow peas <15 Spinach <15 Young summer squash <15 Zucchini <15 Tomatoes 15 Cherries 22 Peas, dried 22 Plum 24 Grapefruit 25 Pearled barley 25 Peach 28 Dried apricots 31 Soy milk 30 Baby lima beans, frozen 32 Fettuccine 32 Peanut 32 Apple 36 Pear 36 Whole wheat spaghetti 37   Ice Cream (low/non-fat, no sugar added)   37 – 43 Tomato soup 38 Carrots, cooked 39 All-Bran 42 Canned chickpeas 42 Orange 43 Canned lentil soup 44 Canned pinto beans 45 Long-grain rice 47 Parboiled rice 47 Canned baked beans 48 Green peas 48 Oat bran bread 48  Oatmeal 50
