RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

Two simple things we can do RIGHT NOW to start getting in shape are, 1) Have bread/pasta/rice/oat carbs ONLY after exercise. These are high glycemic carbs that digest quickly, so eating them all day long = body fat gain. 2) Avoid alcohol. Alcohol not only has calories, but raises levels of the body fat producing hormone cortisol, and lowers the body fat burning hormone testosterone.
