I eat 1/2 pound of fat 💥 when hiking to help regulate this one hormone Insulin 🧐 and my body’s resistance to it It’s the key to fat loss and fitness development (muscle building). I believe it’s good to regulate insulin levels by manipulating fat and carb intake throughout the day based on your activity and what the body will be most productive on to accomplish that activity Exercising 🤸🏼♂️ activity: eat higher carbs before, during and after, lower fats Desk job 👨🏼💻 activity: eat higher fats throughout, lower carbs I love to train with my TRX a lot, sometimes up to 6 times a week. So I ingest a lot of carbs per day (<300g) to power and advance that training. My insulin levels are high for quite a while at points during the day. Over time the body develops insulin resistance. My muscles will be less responsive to insulin meaning they won’t in take as much nutrient (amino acids, carbs, vitamins and minerals etc) that is essential for muscle development (growth) and recovery. A key sign for this is when you stop getting ‘the pump’ when exercising It’s for this reason I use times like trekking weekends as a chance to keep my insulin levels low by powering my body with the energy it needs for the activity - fats. This helps regulate my body’s overall resistance. It’s the little wins like this that add up to keep the gains 💪🏼 progressing Plus! There’s never a better excuse to eat peanut butter 🥳! I recently covered 50k trekking in El Chalten with @themoonontheotherside, our go-to food was -half a jar of peanut butter -chia seeds -Walnuts -almonds -small amount of granola -splash of almond milk -sesame seeds -choco protein powder 1800cals worth all all mixed together 🙏🏼 in a little pot for regular spooning #mountscenery #peaks #mountainrange #naturallandscape #barilocheargentina #hikinglover #bariloche2020 #hikinglifestyle (at Bariloche) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8yZ3IvBFU6/?igshid=tww80vvkbqrp
