    As an Asian and Shredded I eat rice almost everyday I don’t get tired easily so carbs for the win 👍🏻

      Yeah but Asian genetics allow you to do that. I actually watched a study where that had a diverse group of people changed their diets to put on unhealthy weight by eating junk food, and the only one who didn't get fat was the Asian.

      I am Asian and from Thailand. I eat rice and it makes me sleepy 😅😅. I can only eat it after workouts. If i eat it before I have to move around abit or it will make me sleepy before workouts and it sucks😅😅

      @@hn7933 white rice is still ok. It’s high GI compared to brown rice meaning it will digest faster so you can use it quickly as a fuel source. Typically pairing white rice before a hard workout and after for quick refuel will do some good for your blood sugars balance. And as long as you are at a calorie deficit and consume enough protein, age should not be a determining factor whether you should be consuming white vs brown rice

    I don't eat carbs at all except for the trace amounts in meat. Your body can make the glucose it needs from fat and proteins. I never have an issue pushing through workouts and games.

      He’s saying Taylor your carbohydrate intake to your activity level. Carbohydrate is fuel for your muscle when you perform mid to high intensity exercise. As long as you are in a calories deficit you will lose fat. 3500 calories to lose a pound of fat, spread that out a week it’s around 500calorie deficit.

    Carbs can fuel muscle contractions for steady cardio and/or lifting. But high-intensity work (80%+ max heart rate) functions primarily on fat. And unless you're training most of the day like an athlete, you don't need that many carbohydrates.

      Yes but carbs (or raised insulan specifically) block fat uptake into the cells. If your eating carbs dont have your fats at same time, keep that stuff separated by atleast 6hrs.
      Also a good dose of sodium can and does extend workout intensity.
