Inside today's short fat loss video, I'm going to talk about how to customize your carbs for the fastest results.

And I think this is a big area of confusion because carb intake really should be customized based on an individual's activity levels. So you see three columns up here-- sedentary, mildly active, and intense exerciser. I'm going to go over each of these categories and how you should eat or customize your carb intake for the fastest results.

So if you're sedentary, you should strictly just have a high fat, low carb diet. A paleo type of diet, so avoid processed foods, like always, and then have minimal carbs. So a couple days of the week, feel free to eat some berries, some fruits, and maybe even small amounts of low glycemic starches like squash. But you're going to want to stay away from the high glycemic starches if you're sedentary.

Now if you are moderately active, you would follow the same high fat, low carb, paleo-style diet, you would just feel free to add in some specific carbohydrates into the post-workout window. Remember, after you exercise, the muscles are like a sponge. They've kind of wrung dry. You want to suck up nutrients and glycogen. So this is the time where you can eat most your carbohydrates and not worry about them ever spilling over and being stored as fat.

So post-exercise, you'd have things like squashes, fruits, and sweet potatoes. And then if you are an intense exerciser, like myself, or an endurance athlete, your metabolic demands and needs are going to be a lot different than the first two groups. I exercise intensely at least six days of the week, which means in my post-workout window, I'm going to follow a modified paleo approach where I can eat higher fats, lower carb, most of the time, but then after weight training, I'm going to gorge on things like potatoes, all kinds of rice, and ripe fruits.

Remember, white rice is pure glucose, so this is the type of fuel that we have been using since the caveman days. I know rice is a processed food, but if you're a high intensity exerciser, it's pure glucose. Unlike brown rice, there's no lactin component. There's no gluten component. So white rice is one the most desirable starches that you could have if you're a high intensity exerciser. You just have to make sure you have in your post-workout window and that you combine it with a protein to improve insulin sensitivity.

So hopefully, is gives you a snapshot on how to customize your carb intake based on your activity level. Now you just have to make sure that you're moving right based on your age category.

So again, thanks for watching this, and keep going strong.
