Episode #58: Counting Carbs!I want to talk today about being flexible with Keto, but I thought I would be jumping the gun because I haven't done an episode yet on counting carbohydrates, and that is so important before you can begin to be flexible with them! So, this episode is all about counting carbs. I talk a little bit about how you can be flexible later in the episode.Before we even start, I want to make sure you understand what a carbohydrate is. After getting that, I will talk about three ways to count carbs. I am sure you have heard of Total and Net, but I introduce you to a THIRD way to count carbs: My own Granny Keto Hybrid System that my clients have been wildly successful with. My YouTube link is included below so that you can see for yourself, after listening to the podcast.3:54.     What is a carbohydrate?6:04.     Think of the system as a lock and key7:40.     Choosing how to count your carbohydrates8:29.     The net carb myth10:18.   Which is right for you: Total Carbs or Net Carbs?12:07.   Being flexible about the carbs helps sustain a Keto lifestyle13:28.   Hybrid Counting14:38.   Yogurt16:30.    Bacon17:31.    Salami and Ham18:24.    Legal definition of zero carbs19:08.    Sugar alcohols20:53.    How to make this all work for your eating plan23:05.    This week's actionable coaching advice25:25.    Next week's episode: The Lying Scale that LiesYou Tube video on Counting CarbsIntroducing Keto and Low Carb Success ProgramGet all my free guidesTake a look at this great courseJoin me on FacebookFollow me on InstagramCheck out PinterestAnd don't forget my book!

In this episode, Ashleigh and Rachel try (and fail) to do a rapid-fire Q&A, but they still cover a lot of ground: they chat about the latest fat-loss drug, Ozempic; the new social media food trend of making everything out of cottage cheese; and answer other questions about gut health, whether there's value in core-specific workouts, and how often you should "go to failure" in your workouts. All that and more! If you have topic ideas or questions for the hosts, send them to musclescience4women@gmail.com. Interested in pre and post-natal nutrition?

Do you consider yourself a very strict keto or a lazy keto? You're either following something very strict, or you're more low-carb, which is fine. Some of you don't track anything. You just take the buns off your burgers, and the croutons off your salad, which is what most people are doing in this lifestyle. But if your goal is to calculate under 50 carbs a day, then you have to be more carb conscious. Most people choose a lot of prepackaged things, which is great for traveling on the go, instead of going through the drive-thru. If you're eating pre-packaged food, just look at the back. A net carb is simply subtracting the total carbs, sugar alcohols, and fiber from the actual carb count. Let's learn more about the 10-day drink Ketone challenge and more Keto Tips.

Have your macros in your daily food tracker ever not lined up with your calories? Have you ever walked around the grocery store and noticed all the products saying 'net carbs'?! What are net carbs vs total carbs, and which should you be tracking?Today's episode we'll discuss how the net carb idea took root and why we see it everywhere. We'll also talk about how it affects your tracking in MyFitnessPal, because it could be the reason why things are a bit off in there. Toward the end of the episode I give a few tips on what to do if you feel your nutrition plan isn't working. I lay out the questions I usually ask myself and clients before I make any adjustments to the nutrition plan.Other topics lightly discussed Low carb or high carb diets, which is best Is there a magic macro ratio Carbs and training, how we can feel our best Are sugar alcohols always free calories   How volume of foods effects fullness and satiety  Need optimized training programs for your goals of either fat loss or muscle and strength?

Episode 50: Total Carbs or Net Carbs? My Flexible Approach to Carb Counting I bet you've wondered if you should be counting total carbs or net carbs at least once in your keto journey? Am I right? Let's settle the debate once and for all!  We'll dive into fiber and sugar alcohols and cover my flexible approach along the way.  FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/903976939703934 Show Article with references: https://trinakrug.com/total-carbs-or-net-carbs-my-flexible-approach-to-carb-counting/  

Quick keto recap on where you are now and the steps you’re taking to find keto success You’re either a total carb counter or a net carb counter Net carbs and total carbs defined How to calculate net carbs How sugar alcohols factor into net carbs and calorie counts on foods Should you eat according to total carbs or net carbs? The success I had while counting net carbs vs. total carbs How to determine the right carb counting approach for you Links mentioned in episode: Keto Decoded courses Listener Question: I started a keto plan last week and lost 11 pounds. I haven’t cheated at all, but this week I gained two pounds. What am I doing wrong?

Hi there, It's Gillian here from https://DailyKetoMeals.com. Today, you'll discover whether you should focus on total carbs or net carbs. There's a lot of talk about total carbs vs net carbs. Today I want to provide a tip to simplify all this: Track total carbs rather than net carbs. Why? Because it's too much math. If you track total carbs, you're less likely to go over your daily keto limit. Plus to confuse things further, in the US, UK and Australia, the way they measure net carbs is different. The simplest method (and one that applies to everyone) is to track total carbs. If you enjoyed this tip and want more keto and weight loss strategies, then go to https://DailyKetoMeals.com

The 7 Worst Keto Vegetables https://rockthatketo.com/the-7-worst-keto-vegetables/ (https://rockthatketo.com/the-7-worst-keto-vegetables) Before the list, I want to get one thing straight. In Keto, carbs are carbs. When you are counting your carbs, vegetables are equal to sugar. However, and it’s a big however, when discussing your health, all carbs are definitely NOT equal. Without even knowing any science, your own common sense will tell you that broccoli is not equal to refined sugar. So we are not trying to tell you that the vegetables on this list are worse than refined carbs of any kind.  We are only talking about carb content in the keto diet.   Why is this important? Because with very few exceptions,  any vegetable is better than any refined carb. This discussion is only from the point of view of staying in keto.  The List With that in mind, here are the “worst” 7 keto vegetables. 1.  Corn - 20g net carbs) Serving: 2/3 cup |  Protein content: 3g|  Cal: 100 | Total Fat: 1g | Total Carbs: 21g -1g fiber, 5g sugar 2.  Peas - 9g net carbs Serving: 1/4 cup |  Protein content: 4g| Cal: 70 | Total Fat: 1g | Total Carbs: 12g - 3g fiber, 6g sugar 3.  Acorn squash - 13g net carbs Serving: 1 cup (cubed, raw) | Protein content: 1g| Cal: 56 | Total Fat: 0g | Total Carbs: 15g - 2g fiber, 0g sugar 4. Butternut squash - 13g net carbs Serving: 1 cup (cubed, raw) |   Protein content: 1g | Cal: 63 | Total Fat: 0g | Total Carbs: 16g (3g fiber, 3g sugar) Want More?5. Parsnips - 13g net carbs Serving: 1 cup | Protein content: 1g | Cal: 75 | Total Fat: 0g | Total Carbs: 18g (5g fiber, 5g sugar) |  6. Yams - 32g net carbs Serving: 1 yam | Protein content: 2g |  Cal: 158 | Total Fat: 0g | Total Carbs: 37g (5g fiber, 1g sugar)  7. Potatoes - 24g net carbs Serving: 1 medium potato | Protein: 3g | Cal: 110 | Total Fat: 0g | Total Carbs: 26g (2g fiber, 1g sugar) |  Don’t Be Too Hard on TheseIf you end up eating these vegetables, nothing bad will happen. It’s all about the carbs.  Even the title “The 7 Worst Keto Vegetables” is only talking from within the keto diet. Anyway, try to stay away from these, and go with their lower carb counterparts.  If you like these tips and would like to get more tips, endless recipes, and lots of inspiration, then come to our free website and sign up for our mailing list.https://rockthatketo.com/ ( https://RockThatKeto.com) .  Act!

Listeners can find Kim Howerton at her website kimhowerton.com, on Facebook @theketonist, and on Instagram @theketonist. Robert Orion Sikes is a lifetime natural, competitive bodybuilder. He formulated his own approach to contest prep nutrition leveraging keto, and earned his pro-status with bodybuilding in 2017. Robert has since dedicated his life to learning and teaching others the benefits of following a well formulated, ketogenic lifestyle. The lessons learned led to his creation of the Keto Brick, a 1,000 calorie, ketogenic performance meal.   Robert now works alongside his wife Crystal and their amazing team to continually create content and add a ton of value within this community. His mission is, and will continue to be, empowering others to believe in themselves and truly tap into their full potential by optimizing their body and mind.  Kim Howerton struggled with her relationship with food from the time she was 8. As the years went by and her health problems mounted, she felt at the mercy of her body and out of control with her weight. A dedicated seeker of pleasure, she realised that life in a body that was always in pain was no way to live; that a pleasurable life starts by living in a body that feels good.   Enter Keto – a life that has brought together her love of satisfying, delicious foods in a way that makes her actually feel good.  In this episode, Rachel, Robert and Kim dissect the concept of metabolic flexibility, today’s dietary pitfalls, metabolic IN-flexibility, food guilt, carbs on a spectrum, keto treats and more! "There's going to be groups of people that do better with moderation and groups of people that do better with elimination. I don't think one is right or wrong...I think it's just very individualized." Robert Sikes "I think one of the enemies of sustainability is dogmatism. I think probably all of us would agree that you have to be at least mentally flexible enough to say, 'Hmm, I wonder if this is still the best thing for me to do?'" Kim Howerton "You have to be very careful when you're tipping this seesaw of moderation because in this day and age, it's just so hard to moderate the hyperpalatable crap that's all around us."

Plasma FFAs may modulate postprandial inflammation. The prevailing concept of HFD-induced metabolic endotoxemia requires careful re-evaluation.  1. Last few lbs [15:38] Brad says: Hi Robb and Nikki, I've been following you guys since around 2012 and largely attribute my improved health and fitness since that time to the information I've acquired through your information regarding the paleo diet. A bit of background: I'm a 35 year old male, 5'7 height and hover around 138-140lbs most of the time. For exercise I lift 4-5 days per week using a pretty standard bodybuilding "bro split" and also walk a few miles per day. While I've been quite happy with where I am fitness-wise, I've never managed to get below around 12-13 percent bodyfat, despite eating a protein-dense, relatively low carb paleo diet most of the time. To get more granular about things, I eat essentially the exact same things 6 days out of the week, including: 1) 2 spinach salads with chicken breast and 2  tablespoons of high fat, low carb dressing (approximately 400 calories each for a total of about 800/day) 2) Chicken breast with steamed broccoli and a low cal/carb stir fry sauce (approximately 350 calories) 3) Two measured-out servings of frozen blueberries, totaling 150 calories. All of the foods I eat are fairly standardized in terms of quantity, and assuming the information on the nutrition labels is correct I should be taking in about 1300 calories per day and just slightly under 1 gram of protein per lb of bodyweight. On the rare occasion that I snack on something beyond these standard meals I am mindful to burn off the excess calories with walking, assuming a burn rate of about 75 calories per mile. Where things go a bit off the rails is the weekly Sunday cheat day, during which I allow myself to eat whatever decidedly non-paleo foods I feel like, provided that I get a good whack of protein and I don't go over 3000 calories for the day. Based on every calorie calculator I can find it seems that I should be pretty consistently in an overall calorie deficit and losing the last remaining bits of belly chub, but despite having eaten this way for years it's just never quite panned out and I'm wondering what the likely culprit may be? I assume I'm not severely under-eating to the point of 'starvation mode' since I'm able to maintain a pretty solid amount of muscle mass, and it doesn't seem that a once-per-week intake of 3000 calories would be enough to offset the other 6 days of low calorie eating, so I'd be very interested to know your thoughts on what might be preventing me from losing those last bits of stubborn belly fat. Thanks very much for your consideration, you guys rock! -Brad 2. Net Carbs vs Total Carbs [20:27] Kaleigh says: Hi Robb and Nikki! I'm wondering if you can clear up some information about fiber in aid of carbohydrate digestion. Some people in the keto community count net carbs while others count total carbs in their macros. Ive heard experts talk about this on both sides of the spectrum favoring either clean eating or "dirty" keto. Ive never gotten a clear picture of how added fibers to foods,such as protein bars, help or hinder the digestion of carbohydrates. From my understanding the added fibers are synthetic fibers and I am curious if they take on the same metabolic pathways as natural fibers. Since carbohydrates begin to be digested in the mouth and soluble fiber isn't digested until the large intestine, does fiber actually play as big of a role in digestion as dirty keto-ers suggest? I guess im just kind of iffy on where to stand when it comes to fiber. Anyways, thank you Robb and Nikki for all the incredible work you do! I have been loving the new podcast! 3. Ammonia/Urea Sweat [24:33] Bennett says: Robb and Nicki - During morning workouts, I have noticed that my sweat has a distinct ammonia odor. From non-scientific and some scant scientific articles, I have gathered that this has to do with protein metabolism and excess UREA (although my labs are well within normal ranges). My diet is lowish carb (

Metabolic Autophagy is a collection of guidelines about the principles of the anabolic-catabolic cycles in regards to nutrition and exercise.  The process of autophagy entails your healthy cells devouring the old, worn-out, weak ones and converting them back into energy. It’s literally your body eating itself and using that to maintain homeostasis. There are many longevity-boosting benefits to this as illustrated in virtually all other species.  This episode of the Body Mind Empowerment Podcast is going to be the book launch of my new book Metabolic Autophagy.  Get My New Book Metabolic Autophagy on Amazon!

I'm talking about net and total carbs again because it's worth reminding ourselves what net carbs were created for and how we're potentially damaging our long term success by not counting total carbs.

Hey Weight Loss Nation! It’s Ground Hog Day! Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow this morning…..so……. that means 6 more weeks of winter! It’s also Concoction Friday Nation! Today……I’m talking about how healthy Peanut Butter is! www.TheWeightLossNation.com Become a member of Weight Loss Nation Tampa Bay today....for only $20.18 a month for the next 12 months! Here's the link:  Weight Loss Nation Tampa Bay Members  Today's show is sponsored by Allison Hollister - Licensed Massage Therapist, who specializes in Therapeutic Bodywork Therapy in Tampa, FL. If you are in PAIN, and you cannot move your body.....YOU need to call Allison Hollister. She will get rid of the source of your pain, so you can start doing activiites that you love to do! Live in Tampa? Contact Allison at AlliHollister@gmail.com or schedule an appointment at 813-417-3628 Peanut Butter is one of my favorite satisfying foods to eat.                                               Today, we take it for granted on how easy it is to go from the thought of… ”I feel like eating some peanut butter” ……… to either walking into the kitchen and opening up a jar or having it delivered to your door within 2 hrs. by ordering a jar on Amazon Pantry. Peanut Butter is a healthy food and we have Four Men to thank for bringing us this delicious food we enjoy today The four men are: Marcus Gilmore Edson of Canada, John Harvey Kellogg, Ambrose Straub of St. Louis, Missouri and chemist Joseph Rosefield. In 1884, Marcus Edson developed a process to make peanut paste by “milling” roasted peanuts between two heated plates. A year later, The famous cereal maker, Kellogg, received a patent for a technique he developed for making peanut butter with raw peanuts in 1895. Dr. Straub is responsible for patenting a peanut butter making machine in 1903. Peanut butter was introduced to audiences at the 1904 Universal Exposition in St. Louis at C.H. Sumner’s concession stand. Now….96 years later… the man responsible for bringing us peanut butter the way we know and love today… was Joseph Rosefield.   In 1922, through homogenization, Rosefield was able to keep peanut oil from separating from the peanut solids. The rest they say……..is history! Have you ever heard someone say……”They get along like oil and vinegar! What that means….is that oil and vinegar generally don’t mix well together.                        That’s why most Milk is HOMOGENIZED. The physical process breaks down the fat molecules in cream into smaller ones, so that the smaller fat molecules can spread evenly throughout the milk.  This allows the cream and milk to stay together. The same thing is done with Peanut Butter. HOMOGENIZATION allows the oil in peanut butter to mix with the crushed peanuts. Rosefield later sold the patent to a company that began making Peter Pan peanut butter. Rosefield decided to go into the Peanut Butter business for himself …..selling the Skippy peanut butter brand through his Rosefield Packing Company. He also supplied peanut butter for military rations during World War II NOW……let’s take a look at different kinds of Peanut Butter. I grew up on Skippy Peanut Butter or Jif Peanut Butter. Whichever my mom had a coupon for. Now that I’m living a healthy lifestyle…..regular Skippy or Jif Peanut Butter wouldn’t be one of the healthiest choices to make. Let’s take a look at a jar of  Jiff creamy peanut butter…… Here are the ingredients…… Roasted Peanuts and Sugar. Contains 2% or less of……Molasses,.,,Fully Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil …..which means hydrogen is added to break down the fat molecules to produce a more solid saturated fat. The process of Fully hydrogenated produces NO TRANS FATTY ACIDS, which is less harmful to your body than Partially hydrogenated fats. The serving size is  2 Tablespoons. There are 190 calories per serving. Total Fat is 16gms                                                                        Contains  2.5 gms of saturated fat  & there are NO Trans Fat. Saturated fats are simply fats that stay solid at room temperature. We see mostly saturated fats in animal fat. The marbled fat you see in a steak or the fat on a piece of chicken. Trans fat which are also known as Trans Fatty Acids….. when Hydrogen is added to the oil to help make it a solid. You see Trans Fats in Margarine or Crisco Oil. There is NO Cholesterol …..one serving has 105mg of Sodium. There are 8gms of Total Carbs…….there are 2gms of Fiber ……and……3gms of Sugar, which is ADDED. There is 7 gms of Protein in a serving Each serving contains ….20% Niacin…..10% Vitamin E …..4% Iron….and…..2% Riboflavin. Since the Jiff Peanut Butter is Fully Hydrogenated…..you do not have to refrigerate it. You can store it in your pantry and the peanut butter will stay a solid. Now……let’s look at my favorite peanut butter. I LOVE the brand “Once Again” The Once Again Company began in 1976 in rural Nunda, NY.    The company is “Employee-Owned”  I LOVE THAT! I happen to love…. the Once Again Creamy Peanut Butter Here are the ingredients: Dry Roasted Blanched Organic Peanuts, Salts. That’s it. That’s the ingredients Peanut Butter should have ……Period! No Fully Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil…….so that means the Oil and Peanut butter IS separated. You will need to “Stir” the Peanut Butter to mix the oil and peanut butter. I refrigerate the peanut butter after stirring and that helps keep the peanut butter a solid. Now for the nutritional value ……. Serving Size is the same =  2 Tablespoons There are 201 Calories per serving. Total Fat is 16 gms Saturated Fat is 3 gms and there is NO TRANS FATS There is NO Cholesterol and each serving has 50mg of salt. There are a total of 7gms of carbs…….2 gms of Fiber ….and…..2 gms of sugar. There is 9 gms of Protein! Each serving has … 10% Folate……4% Potassium…..4% Iron…. And 2% Calcium If you are interested in buying “Once Again” Peanut Butter….. go to their website  You can buy Once Again products on line at www.onceagainnutbutter.com  If you would rather shop and buy “Once Again” Peanut Butter at a local supermarket near you…….. you can buy it in a Whole Foods market or Sprouts…..or in a local Health Food store near you. If you are looking for a more “familiar” brand of Peanut Butter that is healthy for you…..I found that “Smuckers” Natural Creamy Peanut Butter” will pass the test. Here’s the nutritional information on Smuckers Smuckers Natural Creamy Peanut Butter. PER 2 TBSP: 200 calories, 16 g fat (2.5 g saturated), 90 mg sodium, 6 g carbs, 2 g fiber, 1 g sugar, 8 g protein Ingredients: Peanuts, contains 1% or less of salt Made with no hydrogenated oils, this is the best mainstream brand of peanut butter on the market. You can find it any supermarket. Eat Peanut Butter every day if you want. ONE Tablespoon right out of the jar always satisfies me …….. or you can put ½ to 1 Tablespoon into a smoothie.  You can always make a traditional Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich by using “Dave’s Killer Bread” and “Crofters” Organic Concord Grape Spread.  With Organic Concord Grapes and 8gms of sugar compared to Welch’s Concord Grape Jelly which has 11gms of sugar per serving along with corn syrup and High Fructose Corn Syrup…..you need to read your labels in order to eat healthy!   Crofters website is http://www.croftersorganic.com In order to celebrate National Peanut Butter Day and EVERYDAY you want Peanut Butter……..grab a healthy jar and eat a Tablespoon Full!   Ready to join Weight Loss Nation Tampa Bay!

Hello Weight Loss Nation! It's Concoction Friday, and I have an awesome recipe for you this week. Last week, I talked about the beautiful, healthy & sexy Strawberry and I gave you a Strawberry with Avocado Salsa recipe. If you missed last week's episode, get over to iTunes and listen to it right after this episode. You'll want to eat this week's chips with that delicious Strawberry Salsa!     THIS  WEEK’S  EPISODE You know the saying……”You just can’t eat one!” I know if I open a bag of organic blue chips, it’s history! That’s why I’m giving you this choice of crunchy, chip-alternatives. Their healthier and….most important….still taste pretty good! They will have WAY less salt than store-bought versions, and you can make some gluten free. You know how I like SIMPLE! All you have to do is SLICKE, RUB IN OLIVE OIL, BAKE …….and the best part……start munching your all-ready portion sized snack! WLN Chip Tips You should use a Mandoline —a cooking utensil that can slice uniform, thin slices. It’s important to use thin slices to get just the right crisp. When placing the chips on a baking sheet, line the sheet with parchment paper and lay the chips in a single layer. If the chips overlap, the edges won’t cook evenly. For even cooking, rotate the pan halfway through and flip the chips. For small batches, pop the chip subs in a toaster oven. Store leftovers in an airtight container, though most of these won’t stay at their peak crunchiness for long (more reason to eat ’em right up). Alternative Chips a. Sweet Potato For a vitamin-A-packed snack, slice up the sweet potatoes with the Mandoline Brush them with olive oil, and top with minced garlic, minced rosemary, and a little sea salt. If you don't have time to cook, try "Food Should Taste Good" Brand. Their Sweet Potato Chips are tasty and pretty healthy. Here's what's on the Food Should Taste Good Brand Label. Serving Size 1 oz (28g/about 14 chips)  Amount Per Serving  Calories 160  Calories from Fat 80 % Daily Value* Total Fat 9g 14% Saturated Fat 1g 5% Trans Fat 0g Cholesterol 0mg 0% Sodium 95mg 4% Total Carbohydrate 18g 6% Dietary Fiber 3g 11% Sugar 4g Protein 1g Vitamin A 90% Vitamin C 2% Calcium 2% Iron 2%   Now....Let's make our own – Homemade Version of Sweet Potato Chips Directions Preheat oven to 400 Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until crispy. At 12 minutes, turn over each chip and turn the pan around 360 degrees to heat evenly.  Alternative Chip  #2 Apple Chips You know already that apples are healthy. (What’s that old saying again? Something about a doctor?)You can make them even tastier by sprinkling the slices with pumpkin pie spice, or your own mix of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice.You can also try Bare Snack's baked chips. They’re organic with no added sugar, preservatives, or additives, and a single serving has fewer than 30 calories. Here's what's on the Bare Snacks Cinnamon Apple Chip's Label Serving Size - 1/2 Cup Servings per bag - 3 Calories - 110 Total Fat - 0g Total Sodium - 0g Total Carbs - 27g Dietary Fiber - 4g Sugars - 21g Protein - 0g Calcium - 2% Iron - 2% Ingredients - Apples, Cinnamon   Now.....Let's make our homemade version! Directions Preheat oven to 200 degrees.  Place sliced Apples on baking sheet one layer, not touching edges. Bake for 30 minutes, flip each chip and cook for another 30 minutes.

Raw Honey Will Be Your Secret Weapon This Holiday Season Hello Weight Loss Nation! The holidays are in full swing. You may be attending social events, family gatherings and you may be asked to bring a dessert. If you’re like me…….desserts are a BIG red flag towards living a healthy lifestyle. Working with some of the finest Nutritionists and Weight Loss Experts, I’m learning how to enjoy the holiday season by being mindful  of my food choices and choosing to use raw honey as a substitute for sugar. Let me explain to you why raw honey will be your secret weapon this holiday season. What is honey? Honey is a food source for bees in their hive, during the winter, when flower blossoms are not available. Winter means no nectar for the bees! Bees collect pollen & nectar from flowers and plants as they travel, which “sticks” to their legs.  Upon returning to the hive, they transfer the pollen & nectar to the “worker bees,” who then prepare the nectar for storage in the “honey combs.” The Bees add enzymes to the nectar, and then store it in the honey combs.  In the honey comb chamber, water is evaporated from the stored nectar, and the added enzymes turn the nectar into honey. Mother Nature at her best! According to “The Honey Association”, an average hive needs about 20-30 pounds of honey as a food source to survive the winter. A strong Bee Colony can produce 2-3 times that amount, which allows the extra honey to be harvested and consumed by people.  What is honey comprised of?  According to “The Honey Association.com”  Honey is made up of (80%) natural sugars (18%) water (2%) minerals, vitamins, pollen and protein  Of the 80% natural sugar in honey, about 70% is made up of natural Glucose & Fructose (Sugar) The remaining 10% of sugar…. chemically decides whether honey will be in a more liquid or solid state. Honey with more Glucose will be more solid or “set” Honey with more Fructose will contain more liquid. Both varieties are just as pure and additive free. The different forms of sugar reacts VERY differently in our bodies! Check out blogs and articles about Fructose and Glucose on Google. Fructose is a sugar that is metabolized primarily by your LIVER and it is metabolized to FAT more quickly than any other form of Sugar. Fructose is metabolized into ADIPOSE FAT, which is the fat that is stored in your abdominal region and is associated with a higher risk of heart disease. In liquid form, as you have seen as high fructose corn syrup on many food labels, the “fructose” metabolizes quicker, since it isn’t attached to any other carbohydrate molecules. Now let’s take a look at GLUCOSE Glucose is needed by EVERY cell in your body, including brain cells. Since it is needed, your body breaks down glucose immediately, so your cells can use it as energy where needed. Glucose also suppresses the hunger hormone “ghrelin” and it also stimulates the hormone “leptin,” which suppresses your appetite.  Fructose on the other hand…..has no effect on “Ghrelin,” and it interferes with the brain and how it communicates with Leptin, which can cause over-eating. When you eat 120 calories of glucose, less than ONE calorie is stored as fat. When you eat 120 calories of fructose, 40 calories are being stored as FAT.  1/3  of Fructose Calorie is stored as FAT! Eating Fructose is basically eating FAT! ******FYI……A great book to get is by Dr. Richard  Johnson, Titled – “The Sugar Fix.” Dr Johnson talks all about Fructose & how it effects your body. You can get it on Amazon.com The Sugar Fix Let’s look at the incredible nutritious value of RAW Honey: Nutrition Facts Generic - Organic Raw Honey Per Nutritiondata.self.com   Servings:  1 Tbsp (2grams)  Calories 64 Sodium 0 mg Total Fat 0 g Potassium 11 mg Saturated 0 g Total Carbs 17 g Polyunsaturated 0 g Dietary Fiber 0 g Monounsaturated 0 g Sugars 17 g Trans 0 g Protein 0 g Cholesterol 0 mg     Vitamin A 0% Calcium 0% Vitamin C 0% Iron 0%  The most common nutrients found in honey are Vitamin B6, niacin, thiamine, pantothenic acid, and riboflavin. Amounts vary according to the type of flower pollen that is turned into honey. Honey also contains minerals such as copper, calcium, iron, manganese, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, sodium, and zinc. Antioxidants  Honey also has various phen-O-lic acids and flAvonoids which are certain types of antioxidants. As I’ve mentioned on previous episodes, antioxidants help to eliminate free radicals which often play a role in causing many serious diseases, including cancer. Generally, the darker honeys, like buckwheat, will have higher antioxidant levels compared to lighter colored honeys. Now that you’ve learned all about nutritional raw honey, let’s put it to good use.

Review: Schred1 – Comment (Audio) Review: Schred2 – Clearing Up Comment (Audio) Review: Schred3 – Zak Follow Up (Audio)   Comment: I do believe that the distinction between the different body types is actually very important as long as people understand this is just a very generic scale to give you an idea of how fast your metabolism is. I consider myself an endomorph. I’ve always been the pudgy little guy. When I started working out, I was mostly doing cardio. My goal was to get in shape and feel a bit less ashamed of my body. The problem being that I had a really sweet tooth and preferred by far sweating on a treadmill than going on a diet. Also, from my personal experience, no matter how heavy I lift and how hard I push myself, I can't "lose fat" simply with lifting. Cardio seems to be, if not the only option, at least the best for me. I did very intense cardio for about 5 months. In the end I was weighing 120 lbs for 5'3" and still looked a bit pudgy although I had very skinny arms and could nearly see my ribs. I went to see a dietician who told me being slim would basically mean a drastic change in my lifestyle, both for exercises and diet. However, she also gave me this little explanation about body types, mostly to make me understand I had a slow metabolism and what it would imply. If I wanted to get in shape, it'd have been much easier for me to start lifting than to try and lose fat. So far, my results have been pretty good and I've started out-lifting ectomorphs friends who were ahead of me when I started. All in all, what I'm trying to say is, even though the generalization of body types shouldn't be taking too seriously, having a general idea of the pros and cons of your metabolism can really help you finding the workout and diet that suit you best. I refuse to give up on my occasional cookie or ice cream, but if it hadn't been for learning about the endomorph body type and their ability to gain size easily, I would never have started weightlifting in the first place.   B.      From: Anonymous @Snowheart (Image with Question) Comment: t doesn't seem to look like I've changed much or changed at all after these past two years and it's actually quite demotivating and frustrating to see. I've done what I can within those two years and learning in between. There has been 5x5 (which I've learned quite a bit from previous podcast), HIIT and now, body weight training. Food intake is kept at a minimal as I'm trying to lose those fat and changing them into muscle mass.   Unfortunately, I am unable to fix down on a diet as money is an issue and my family isn't very supportive of what I'm going through. Being a Chinese and whatnot, I'm unable to bring them down to say that white rice is bad for me at the moment cause I did went through that phase and had an argument, even few days ago. We just need to have white rice. I tried adding in brown rice but two issues: 1) it's expensive to obtain and 2) my dad doesn't eat brown rice. Thus, boils down to the issue of food intake where I've been trying to cut half of my portion till now. I know food is a huge issue here but it's difficult in an environment where my parents aren't that supportive of it. That goes for food and for training, I'm on a body weight training with a personal trainer. I've just started on that recently in December 2013 and still going on till now. What I've been doing are push ups, jumping lunges, squats, sand bag training, etc,. It's intense, that much I could say cause my trainer is one hell of a trainer. He pushes and I'm hoping to see results but I'm only on personal training with him once a week. The remaining days, I go on HIIT like RPM classes, biking. I hate running the treadmill and it's not what keeps me motivated. Classes like those keeps me focus and really force myself to push forward. Even after all those, I'm still not gaining or losing much. As you can see from the comparison, it's really demotivating.   I'm only taking whey protein and fat burner as supplements. And I have no access to any nutritionist. Supplements that I'm taking. I'm only taking whey protein and fat burner as supplements.
