Jimmy Smith: Hello, what's up guys Jimmy Smith from jimmysmithtraining.com. I want to make quick couple of series of videos to show you low carb dieting philosophy, so you - lean you around, well I promise good muscle size and how you can do. And I think the biggest thing is you have to understand each of the three macro nutrients or same macro nutrients, proteins, carbos and fats. So I start with the carbs first. Carbs are the most relevantly real energy sources in the body.
And they are not the enemy like most of the media makes about and most of the people make about them. They are only the enemy when they are taken in too high quantities or too low or too consistently. But it allows the carbohydrates, they release insulin. So now Insulin in present in the body, it's impossible to break down muscle tissue. So that's really a thing for lot of people , lot of physique athletes, lot of bodybuilders, people are want to diet down , hold their muscle size, but get rid of body fat. It's important to understand that because we are still concerned with eating large amounts of protein that we don't realize that if we keep a certain meal of carbohydrates in our diet.
We won't burn muscle tissues. So people are so carbophobic that they eliminating carbs which that's the thing that helps natural athletes keep their muscle when they are dieting. That's the people don't understand. Now the trade off is on insulin present in the body, the body doesn't want to burn fat. So the enzymes that burn body fat are elevated and we want to keep those enzymes low in order to burn body fats, we want to turn them on. But if we turn them on, we have to keep our insulin low, so we have to keep our carbohydrate low. How do we do that? Through a couple of mechanisms. First are you wanted to keep your simple carbohydrates for your workout time? That's the typical recommendation I don't always go with that recommendations as long as I push workout.
But I've meal in - knows as fiber but I live my carbs of dieting and I want to drop body fat. Drop the course of the day. So when you are going to eat carbs through out the course of the day, provide your energy levels there. That's a big thing people don't realize. When you are dieting you have to make sure that your carbohydrates intake of that --matches your energy level. That's why I do nutrient routine. So most of the meals having protein fat and lots of time protein carbs and sometimes protein carbs and fat or protein fat, I don't kind of I don't porously restrict nutrients. I just only have controlled carbohydrates around the course of the day. So few say its -- that day. Really don't need more than 50 or 60 gram carbohydrates for energy. Remember there are lot of proteins that we can burn into energy too. So all you need is 50 or 60 grams of carbohydrate to fuel your - and help you recover post work down. So you really not gonna need that many carbohydrates.
But when I train big muscles like my back or my legs then it -- more carbohydrate diet I would go 100 or 150 or may be 200 grams depends upon are in my diet. I call carbohydrates are needed to recover back and legs are big muscle. Or can train back and do a lot of cardio, I will need that and also its can operated lot of enzymes on hormones are drop because we overall don't want to - in our diet. Naturally the rule of carbohydrates in a diet is carbohydrates help you recover and carbohydrates are proteins parents. So you don't need as much protein in your diet and that's the problem people have is that they will model a lower carbohydrate diet with a protein so high that lot of that proteins get converted to glucose. So converted for energy. Well carbs are the most reliable source of energy. We have to pull, and then run proper workouts, put them and use them the most. Lot of people just runs off and they think that, you know the carbs raises seems carbs -- not. So you don't want sugar called hydrates, you don't want sugar but you want keep lot of fibers, carbs in your diet, and again adjusted based on the energy losses during the course of the day. Don't get so focussed and overall amount of carbs you have. If you are working hard and you are staying - you bring body fat and you are working out and you are doing this ---, then you can have a work on.
Don't be scared to go to the 150 or 200 Carb days depends on your training. But make sure that the carbohydrates that they match your energy output during the course of the day. Every time your body fat, you want them lower, but you want to stay so lower from that a lot of energy is put in to workout. So it's a good place to start. A good primary carbohydrates, because the media has labeled them bad. Its not all bad at times provided they done the properties and at the proper times.
