Take My Breath Away

I started my CFNS certification the other day and even though I’m only 40 pages into the text book I’ve already confirmed ALL of my standing beliefs about food digestion and consumption. I tend to have REALLY strong gut feelings about things when it comes to the human body and oddly enough they’ve always turned out to be true. For instance, NEVER eat a carb without a protein. The longer you can delay gastric emptying time the less food energy gets stored as fat.  Carbs are typically out of the stomach in under an hour which is why you will feel hungry pretty soon after an all carb meal or binge.

Enjoy today’s workout!
