When Is The Best Time to Eat Carbs?

Image
Beyond the great debate about how many carbs we should be eating, there is another question you might be wondering about: When is the best time of day to eat carbs? Today we’re going to dig into the data and see if we can get some answers. Before we do, though, I want to make something clear. The types and amounts of food you are eating are much more important than nutrient timing when it comes to health, body composition, and even athletic performance. Before worrying about nutrient timing, you should: Eliminate the “big three”—grains, excess sugars, and offensive vegetable and seed oils Consume an appropriate amount of food for your goals and activity level—neither too much nor too little Ensure that you are getting enough micronutrients via diverse, nutrient-dense foods, plus supplementation when necessary I’d also say that macronutrients—the relative amounts of carbs, protein, and fat you’re eating—comes before nutrient timing in the hierarchy of “likely to matter.” A Keto

Over 100 snacks better than Goldfish for kids

If I can stop one goal of the BIG food industry in the way I raise my daughter it would be this: Refuse to buy junk food designed to be addictive that has no nutritional value.  And refusing to feed my daughter Pepperidge Farm Goldfish fits the bill brilliantly. But why is this snack something almost every child in America eats in the first place? Parents buy them by the gallon carton full at Costco. Preschools and day cares serve them. It’s time for this to stop.  First, let’s talk about what’s not on the label. The majority of wheat in this country is sprayed with glyphosate (Roundup weedkiller) as a drying agent before harvest ( 1 ), which is ending up in finished products on the shelf. Tests have specifically found residues of glyphosate in Goldfish Crackers ( 1 ). This chemical is known to cause cancer ( 2 ). The cheese in Goldfish Crackers is not organic. That means it comes from factory farmed cows that were raised on an unhealthy diet of food that was not organic an

Disruption is the enemy of good habits and good intentions. And if there’s one word to sum up what the Covid-19 crisis has done to everyday life, it’s disruption. This is the time you might need your fitness routine the most, both to keep your immune system strong and to stay sane. If the gym is closed, and you’re under a stay-at-home order, no problem. Here are 6 tips for taking your workout into your backyard. Photo by Dominik Wycisło on Unsplash 6 Tips for Taking Your Workout Into Your Backyard 1. Create First things first: create a space to work out. A patio is a great place for a kettlebell burpee pyramid workout . All you need is a kettlebell and some space. Set up a yoga mat if your patio is too hard on your palms. If you’ve got enough lawn, think short sprints. Or butt kicks. Or plyometrics. You get the idea. Just make sure your spaces are clear of dirt and debris. You might get out the leaf blower or the lawn mower to tidy things up a bit before you begin. 2. Motivate

How To Freeze Avocados

Image
Wondering how to freeze avocados? This guide can help! If you are like me, you probably have a few avocados that never seem to get eaten as soon as they should. And for me, at least one always seems to go bad. So I started researching how to freeze avocados and came up with three methods you can use. Freezing avocados is a practical bit of know-how. If you’re lucky enough to have access to an avocado tree (I’ve always wanted one!!), or even if you’ve ever had even a single avocado sitting on your counter, you know that they can go from hard, to ripe, to rotten in the blink of an eye. The trick with freezing them is to get them when they are ripe. And I even have a trick for keeping them ripe longer! Now aren’t you glad you stopped by? KEEPING AVOCADOS IN THE REFRIGERATOR The simple truth is, avocados ripen MUCH slower in the fridge. It’s one thing to leave them on your counter if they are hard. But once they even get a hint of softness to them, stick them in the fridge immediat
