Ian McCarthy on the uselessness of the Glycemic Index

Despite the overwhelming evidence refuting the relevance of the Glycemic Index to the real world, a majority of fitness enthusiasts and bodybuilders still use it to determine which carb sources they choose to eat. In this video I lay out several arguments as to why this is a misguided approach. Feel free to join the NBB Facebook page at www.facebook.com

My Healthy Lifestyle Plan

Approximate start times for each section: My body type and background: 1:56 My healthy lifestyle plan: 8:16 Nutrition: 11:02 Exercise: 20:33 Stay motivated: 26:14 I decided to post this video after there was some interest in hearing about how Ive become a healthier person and also lost some weight. In the video, I forgot to say (but stuck on at the very end) that Ive lost 10-12 pounds since starting this plan on Nov. 1, 2011. I dont own a scale myself, but I knew what I weighted before I began, and I had access to a scale during Christmas, so thats my estimate :) Ive also gone down a dress size, and overall, feel so much more energized and healthy which is the most important thing. Thanks for watching, and I hope this have you guys a few tips on how to become a healthier person! I want you all to live very long, healthy lives :) Julias (MissChievous on YouTube) video, the one that inspired me to do this: www.youtube.com Julias second channel with recipe ideas (LOVE her asparagus salad!

Raw food – Sodium from raw vegetables (cut out salt)

This video is about how I am going to cut out salt from my diet. It has been 4 weeks since Ive started the raw food diet. Ive lost 4 kilos8 pounds so far and have so much more energy :) … Cut out meat of my diet was NOT a problem. The salt cravings were a pain but I now replace salt to celery, tomatoes. I also add lemon and banana to my salad. It is delicious!!!

Glycemic Index – Does It Really Matter?

Do we really need to keep stressing over the GI in everyday life? NOOOOO! People tend to forget this was created back in the 1980s as a tool for diabetics and unfortunately found its way into the real world messing up the mind of healthy individuals and convincing them it is the worst thing in the world to focus on the glycemic index of foods. Glycemic Index = measures the effects of carbs and their ability to raise blood sugar levels Keywords Fasted Isolation Postprandial State Glycemic Load Insulin Response Satiety Index Stop concerning yourself with this Insulin "spike" It refers to the idea of a dramatic increase in blood sugar and insulin but in healthy individuals this "spike" is irrelevant because the body is very efficient at keeping blood sugar levels in a heathy range. www.bodyrecomposition.com www.livestrong.com www.alanaragon.com
