Instead of obsessing on the fact that you cant have all these carbohydrates that you crave or you cant have whatever it is that quote unquote, you're not allowed to have, you know, whether it be pizza or rice or pasta. Now you can pine for those things and dwell on the fact that you can't have any of that stuff. But how about instead of focusing on what you can't have, enjoy and focus, the things that you can have, because they're great choices, love the things you can have.

So if you want to lose weight, you've heard it many times here on the podcast that you can't out exercise a bad diet.

Adam 01:53

teaspoon out here

Tim Edwards 01:56

Covering pillar number two, right nutrition.

Mike 01:58

Yeah, yeah, well, you know, something, you know, we talk about carbs in some other other podcasts. In the past, we've mentioned carbs. And we've got

Adam 02:07

ketogenic diet

Mike 02:08

the ketogenic diet, a big one we get from clients all the time, who try to tackle a no carb diet, a ketogenic diet, a paleo diet, a low carb diet. And sometimes, you know, I mean, the references are all over the internet, there's books everywhere to like, go into any of these things. But sometimes people are just, they're on the run, and they don't have time to get to these things, or they're just overwhelmed by all the content. So what we decided we wanted to do is do a quick podcast, and throw out some ideas to answer some of those questions. Because oftentimes be like, What can I have for breakfast? What can I have for lunch? What can I have for dinner, we just want to throw out some quick recipes, some quick ideas that are easy to prepare that don't take that much time. And I think will then accommodate the the no carb, or the low carb, whatever variation you're doing

Adam 02:52

so basically we want to say, alright, so the way you start with this low carb diet is everything opposite of Rachael Ray.

Tim Edwards 03:02

Now, guys, so the question I have is, so some of these tips that we're talking about today, are these for people who are looking to lose weight or sustain, or just to kind of support the power 10 workout?

Mike 03:13

Well, there's a lot of reasons why people go on no carb diet or low carb diets. It's not just I think the most, the typical reason is to lose fat, trying to drop fat. Um, I think just before we go into the recipes, you just want to talk just quickly about the relationship between carbohydrate intake, insulin and fat regulation.

Adam 03:33

But instead of talking really theory, I think what we want to talk about his really practical things more like you know, what to eat, basically, what does that entail me, we all talk about low carbs. What does that mean? Like I was having this conversation today with somebody about low carb and not really fully understanding. She's like, I mean, can I have any rice? And I have any alcohol? Can I have any? I mean, like, I was like, no, no, no, no, no.

Mike 03:54

I mean, like fruit or carbohydrates, right. All that kind of stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you know, something, the end all be all to someone's nutrition. I think it involves a lot of factors. And I think the reason why a lot of people do no carb or low carb diets is to control insulin, which is one part of the whole puzzle. And I think these suggestions are going to tackle that one piece of the puzzle, because I think for a lot of people like Tim, you just said that you've had some a few months of poor eating, and that you've got back onto the wagon, where you just cut out carbohydrates, and you lost six pounds recently. Well, that's the thing. I mean, I don't think that's going to answer all of your nutritional concerns or all of your health concerns. But it's it's a big piece of the puzzle. And I think just doing that gets the fat burning going. And well, I think we've kept we've tackled the why and the theory and the science in the past this one, let's just talk about what suggestions we can give you right off the bat.

Adam 04:51

Bring it home bring it all home.

Mike 04:53

Yeah, so I mean, really just diving right into it. Breakfast Ideas are I think this is the hardest thing for a lot of people able to get into because the most conventional breakfast food is very, very refined foo...
