Episode 043 - Carb Cycling

When we hear that one of our fellow firefighters is going on a “diet” we sometimes tease them or try to make things worse for them by bringing sweets into the station.  None of this is productive and just makes you look like an asshole. While we shouldn’t be constantly “on a diet” we should be MINDFUL of our diet. Going on a special diet from time to time is perfectly fine.  However, most trend “diets” aren’t sustainable, and they aren’t meant to be, hence the term “trend”.  What’s sustainable is a healthy lifestyle.   One of the elements you have full control over is what kinds of foods you are putting into your body. In today’s episode, I’m going to speak specifically about carb cycling; what it is, and give you some strategies and tools to help you use it in working toward any weight-loss goals you might have.  Join the brotherhood of firefighters and EMS professionals who want to civilize their minds, and make savage their bodies by joining the IGNITEd Firefighter Podcast Community on Facebook.  This is where you can connect with me and other firefighters all over the world!  We can share our experiences and gain insight from each other as we deal with the struggles that we may be facing. - Show Notes/Links: Portion Control Hand Guide Infographic (Pn1) Carb Cycling YouTube Video Underwriter’s Laboratories sponsorship link Firefighter Podcast Facebook Community -- Portion Control Hand Guide Infographic (Pn1) Carb Cycling YouTube Video Underwriter’s Laboratories sponsorship link Firefighter Podcast Facebook Community
