Now, there's obviously more low glycemic Carbohydrate food choices out there than just this. Use this as a starter guide. Keep in mind, you can still eat your favorite foods like, spaghetti, pizza, tacos, etc... The one thing that's recommended, is for you to make your own food, and to NOT buy it from fast food restaurants. If you use all natural ingredients, and use some of the food choices listed above, there's no reason why you can't create your favorite food choices and make them healthy. For example: Pizza. What is pizza typically made out of? Lets see.. Tomatoes, Wheat, Dairy, Protein sources, Vegetables... As you can see, there really are NO bad ingredients.What makes pizza bad for you, is HOW IT'S COOKED OR PREPARED. When restaurants make Pizza, they use terrible oils, they use high glycemic bread, they use large amounts of sugars, salts, fats... and the reality is, is that you can make pizza taste just as good with healthier ingredients, made at home. They use unhealthy ingredients because it's cheaper, and they want to save money. You want to build muscle right? Make your own food! Muscle Building Nutrition Main
