It's almost all about diet
If you have a recent history of high-sugar, high carbohydrate intake, then low carb diets can work wonders. By improving insulin sensitivity you greatly improve your body’s efficiency at using fat as fuel. Cutting carbs can also reduce a large sum of calories from your everyday diet.
If you have already been following a low carb diet for a few months and are starting to see your progress stall, it may be time to add some complex carbohydrates to your post-workout meal.
At Ultimate Performance, we do not prescribe cookie-cutter diets because no single approach works for every unique client. The type of diet you should do depends on a long list of factors, including your recent diet history, lifestyle and genetic factors.
