This week is all about carbs! Your goal is to add in one serving of carbs to 1 or 2 meals on workout days. On non-workout days, you won't add any! You only get to eat the carbs you earn, and you earn them by training for them. For all the juicy details, watch the video! I tried several times, and just couldn't figure out how to put it into words on the screen, so I decided to tell you about it instead...
What counts as carbs?
Whole Grains & Starches
Whole Grains- brown rice, whole grain bread, whole grain pasta, oats, barley, rye, corn
-->optional: leave out the grains if you prefer to use a Paleo approach and get all your carbs from starches
Starches- potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams, bananas, plantains
Avoid all refined carbs
White bread, white pasta, white rice, chips, baked goods made with white flour, etc, do NOT count toward your carb servings! If you buy packaged goods, look for "whole grain" in the ingredients list. "Enriched wheat flour" is refined, wheat flour, and that won't count!
