Question;- Do you know what carbohydrates are? Do you know what carbohydrates do? Do you know why you need to include carbs into your muscle building diet? Let me explain. Carbohydrates = Sugar = Glucose = Fuel for your muscles When carbs are consumed, they will be broken down by the body into glucose, which is then released into the bloodstream and transported to the various muscle groups. Although the end result of all carbohydrate consumption is the same, how they get to that end result directly affects how much they will help with fat burning Carbohydrates are broken down into sugars at different speeds. Some are broken down slowly and gradually released, others increase blood sugar levels quite rapidly. For efficient fat burning and high energy levels, we need to keep blood sugar levels well balanced. Balancing your carb intake is probably the most difficult element of your muscle building diet. Insulin is the body`s natural hormone for controlling the amount of sugar in the blood. Some carbohydrates are broken down quickly, this results in the body releasing lots of insulin to compensate. The sugar is removed from the bloodstream by the insulin very quickly, which leaves the blood with lower sugar levels than normal. This can lead to fatigue and feelings of hunger - be careful not to binge eat - added to this, high levels of insulin inhibit the body`s ability to burn fat. In summary, we can see that consuming carbs is an important part of any muscle building diet. However, we need to concentrate on types of foods which are broken down and released into the bloodstream very slowly, which will help your body become a fat burning machine! Keep it natural.
