I know we all have that best friend that isn't the best influencer in our lives. These friends are always there for us when we need them, and for the most part they over look our faults while we over look theirs. Well, when it comes to my eating habits, carbs seem to be my best friend. Now, healthy living has at least two-parts: eating healthy and exercise. Balance between the two is an art that, for me will always be a work-in-progress. I find that when I work out, my best friend, carbs wants to hang out a lot more than usual! I am burning calories and my body is saying, 'Man, this is great! I feel great and I want to share this with my best friend!' But what I really need is protein, not such a great friend, but reliable and a little more stable than carbs.
Word to the wise: develop balance in work-out efforts and eating habits. Make friends with fruits, vegetables and proteins, otherwise you will struggle with carbs like I do!
