RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

Carbs are NOT evil. You just have to know which carbs to eat & when to eat them.HIGH GLYCEMIC CARBS (bread/pasta/rice) digest quickly so ONLY eat them after exercise to restore the energy reserves in your body. People unfortunately eat them all day and are not active all day so those carbs digest quickly, are not burned, and so they're turned into body fat.LOW GLYCEMIC CARBS (fruits/veggies) digest slowly, so these are the carbs that are ok to eat all day long (in moderation!).
