Hi,
I just have a quick question regarding carbs and working out...
I cut out as much carbs/sugars during the week as possible and have a cheat day(s) on weekends. I do crossfit 2 to 3 times a week, exercise on weekends and have dropped 11% BMI and am currently on 20%. I mainly just eat things like chicken/lamb/steak/fish and veg during the week. (I dont eat junk food or snack during the week)
My goal is to get a solid six pack (which is slowly beginning to show now after months of effort) but I heard very recently I should eat carbs before my workout otherwise I could lose muscle mass, is that correct?
I thought for weight loss its best to stay away from carbs because when you work out your body will burn your carbs/fat instead of stuff you have eaten recently? Or does one need the carbs so you can work harder at gym?
For breakfast I only have a 300ml diet-fuel whey protein, another one before working out and then another just afterwards. I dont like eating fruit and I dont drink fruit juices. Can this diet and workout work if I stick at it or should I introduce carbs before workouts?
(Ok that was more than one question sorry :p)
Much appreciated
