Summary

Let's talk about the best times to enjoy some carbs throughout the day. When it comes to optimizing your carbohydrate intake, three key moments stand out. Firstly, the best time to consume carbohydrates is before your workout, as they provide a valuable energy boost to fuel your exercise session. Secondly, there's another ideal time later in the day, the third time to be precise, where you should incorporate carbs into your meal plan. Finally, having carbs at night can actually promote recovery, helping your body replenish glycogen levels and prepare for the next day. Interestingly, did you know that the brain is the heaviest user of glycogen in the body? Fascinating, right? So, when planning your meals, consider lighter carb options before and after your workout to optimize your performance and recovery.

0:10.0	making sure you don't eat them before bed and how human growth hormone can exist in the body at
0:13.7	the same time as carbohydrates. I found it all very fascinating so I went and did a little bit of
0:17.4	research and came up with a few contradictory ideas to what he was claiming. So if you ever wondered
0:25.5	when is the best time to eat carbs and how can we make sure that with the carbs we are eating or
0:29.6	doing as much work for us as possible? Well, this episode is for you. You're listening to the

1:12.1	of different ways of doing this. I'm going to talk through what I consider the million-dollar
1:15.2	body method. So for people who want to have more focus for their businesses, for their life,
1:20.1	for their family and more energy to take them throughout the day. Now, if I said, okay,
