Are you eating too many carbohydrates?? wow check on this

I found out that people consume alot of carbohydrates probably ti fill there belle or to satisfy there hunger. thats great because it part of the diet.


Hint:
When you are planning, ordering, or preparing a meal, start with carbohydrate counting. Most of your carbohydrates should come from things like whole grain products, real fruits and vegetables, and beans. Once you have a satisfactory number of carbohydrates on your plate, fill in the rest of your meal to fit the Plate Method.

Challenge: For the next 27 days, count your carbohydrates. Limit  your intake of refined carbohydrates (white bread, white pasta, white flour and many salty snack foods) – these foods have very little or no fiber and many important nutrients have been “refined” out of them. Limit sugary foods and beverages like soda (pop or coke depending on where you are from , candy, and Gatorade. Create an environment within your body for optimal health.
 
Exercise hint.
You will be keeping track of your heart rate, your muscular fitness, your flexibility, and your estimated body composition. Also keep track of any other measurements that reflect your goals. For example, weight, bicep circumference, jump reach, etc.press ups

Challenge: Measure your fitness level, record your results, track your progress.
Advanced Challenge: If you are training for an event or consider yourself and intermediate or advanced exerciser/athlete, measure your fitness level using parameters that better fit with your goals. For example, if your goal is to run an 8-minute mile, measure your mile time today, your heart rate before, directly after, and 1 minute post your 1 mile run. Keeping track of your heart rate recovery is a good measure of heart health.

Challenge: Do something (non food related) for yourself today. Buy yourself flowers, watch the sun set, sit outside for lunch. #mefirst
