EP 12 (PH) | Rice, Carbohydrates and Weight Gain - Insights for Athletes and Fitness Enthusiasts

In this compelling episode, we delve into the often misunderstood subject of carbohydrates and weight gain. We demystify the popular myth that consuming rice leads to unnecessary weight gain, explaining how rice, a substantial source of carbohydrates, is not only a vital energy booster, especially for those engaged in high-intensity or endurance training, but also integral to a balanced nutritional plan.
The fear of gaining weight from eating rice stems from misconceptions about carbohydrates being inherently fattening. On the contrary, carbohydrates are the primary source of energy for the body, particularly during physical exertion. This episode educates listeners on the significant role rice plays in providing energy to the body.
We also explore strategic concepts such as 'carbo-loading', a technique used by professional athletes to boost glycogen stores in muscles and the liver prior to strenuous events. We compare this to the utilization of supplements like L-citrulline and citrulline nitrate, which while beneficial, have differing modes of action and timing requirements compared to carbohydrate loading with a natural source like rice.
By debunking the fallacies surrounding rice consumption, this episode aims to help listeners better understand and appreciate the positive effects of a balanced diet and the crucial role rice plays in aiding recovery post strenuous exercise.

Sleep isn't just for dreaming; it's a big boss in the world of weight control! Two hormones called ghrelin and leptin, who regulate our appetite, can go rogue if we don't get our beauty sleep. When we're sleep-deprived, our tummy rumbles like a monster, and we don't feel full even after eating a feast. This tag team can lead us to chow down more than we need, and the result? A potential weight gain!
But, that's not all; messing with our sleep can cause other disasters, like reduced insulin sensitivity, fat storage, and a spike in a stress hormone called cortisol. These can lead to some nasty health risks!
Sleeping isn't just for our bodies; our brains need a night break too! A good snooze is like pressing "refresh" on our minds, restoring our focus, and getting us ready for a new day.
So let's get snoozing! Aim for 7-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep, and if you struggle, don't be afraid to ask for help. Let's put the "beauty" back into beauty sleep!
