When it comes to fat loss, your carbohydrate intake must be earned unless those carbohydrates are coming from fruits and veggies. Those “other” carbs, such as your starchy carbs, should only come at two times over the course of the day. These are times when insulin sensitivity is usually greatest: at breakfast and during the post-workout window (1-2 hours after exercise)
When it does come time for you to ingest those “other” carbs try to minimize your intake of carbohydrates from sources such as sports drinks, soda, cereals, muffins and bagels. Preferred sources of carbohydrates outside of fruits and vegetables are:
- Beans/legumes
- Sweet potatoes
- Steel cut or whole rolled oats
- Oat bran
- Sprouted grain breads, English muffins or tortilla’s
- Quinoa
