RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

Cereal, breakfast bar, or oatmeal for breakfast. Pasta for lunch. Fish or chicken with rice, bread, and salad for dinner. Is this close to how you eat daily? If so, you're eating high glycemic carbs (bread, pasta, rice, oats) all day long. Carbs are sugars, and high glycemic carbs are sugars that digest quickly. Since we can't be exercising 24/7, if we're eating them all day long, they're not burned and the body turns them into body fat. *Eat them ONCE per day, and that time should be ONLY AFTER exercise.* If we don't exercise, then we don't have them that day. EARN THEM! Fruits & veggies are low glycemic carbs, so since they digest slowly they're okay to eat all day long.
