I want to share something I saw on Dr. Oz this morning. We
train in a closed private studio and I often prefer music or informational
programming to straight news. I feel what ever makes the time go more quickly
is best. The guest put very simply what many other like myself have
said for years. I have heard: Eat like a king for breakfast, a prince for lunch
and a pauper for dinner. Unfortunately this is opposite to the way most people
eat.
What I heard today put this cliché into straight percentages
and had solid logic to back up this radical reform. If we eat a 40% of our
breakfast in the form of carbs it will help fuel our daily energy needs. When
lunch comes around we can scale that percentage down to 25 and then for dinner
beef up the protein and scale down the carbo’s to 15%.
What is important to note is the quality of the food should
remain the same. Sorry but a high carb breakfast is not pancakes with syrup.
You can have some whole wheat toast, a small bagel, oatmeal or even smart
potatoes (vs. hash browns). Make sure you also have a protein source with it
that has at least 20-30 grams of protein. What I find nice is the fact that we
Americans like a lot of protein for dinner anyway. You can have broiled fish, chicken,
pork tenderloin (even red meat once in a while) but have it with veggies
instead of rice, rolls, potatoes and starchy carbs.
What I like best about this program is that all the meals
are good size. You may actually be eating more but finally starting to lose
weight. One note of caution: If you do all this but have a few drinks and some
snacks while you watch TV, you’ll add back all the carbs you just subtracted.
If you live in La Crescenta, La Canada, Sunland or Tujunga you can stop by for a free consultation.
