How much fuel does your journey require?

I may have written about it before?🙂
How much energy we consume and how much we expend is important to health and weight loss...

So our energy consumption should be relative to expenditure, as in how physically active we are...

The old advice of most of what you consume can be carbohydrates (our bodies primary fuel source) didn't work as nowadays most of us don't have the requirements for so much energy...

A bit like a car, if we are not constantly going on long drives we don't need the fuel...

In a car, unused fuel sits in the tank ready to be used...

In the body, it has a couple of initial places (muscle and liver) and then over flow storage (accumulative body fat)...

That's why the advice has changed and moderating foods that contain simple to use energy is the key...

There some times the body needs fuel, after reasonably challenging exercise for example, the energy/ blood sugar level will be low and the body will need a bit of refuelling and regeneration...

But if your day involves busy but sedentary activity that's why it's important to moderate energy foods for health and to look and feel how you want to.

Any questions? Let me know in the comments section...

Thanks,
