Carb Tolerance & Carb Manager

Carb Tolerance

No getting around it. Any serious effort at body weight optimization these days needs to approach the topics of carbohydrates and metabolism with fresh intelligence.

Today I'm sharing with you a key concept I employ with my weight loss clients called carb tolerance.

Although not a medical term, carb tolerance refers to the total amount of glucose a person can metabolize without gaining weight or having an inflammatory response. This amount differs somewhat from person to person.

So what's the number in terms of carbs per day?

Interestingly, one thing I've discovered while working with nutrition clients is how few of them have a clear idea of the number of carbs they consume in a given day. (The so-called recommended daily average, or RDA, for an American male is 300 grams of carbs per day and 200 grams for women.)

As part of the onboarding process with new clients, I usually have them begin by keeping a food journal, tracking everything they eat and the corresponding number of carbs. I then often give them a sweet spot of 50 net carbs to shoot for in their daily diet.

This daily budget helps them to avoid spiking insulin levels and places them in an optimum position for balanced hormone and weight release.

Pro Tip: Using Carb Manager

So what, you may ask, is the best tool for tracking your actual carb intake on a daily basis?

Great question!

My answer: You definitely need the certainty that comes from daily accountability and direction, and the best tool I have found out there is a free app called Carb Manager.

>>Download it for free from the App Store or Google Play HERE<<

I love this app because it:

1. gives the exact macros and calories you need to reach your goal 

2. shifts you into clarity about where you're missing the mark 

3. unlocks reservoirs of energy, optimized by your hydration, exercise and intermittent fasting schedule

My clients achieve amazing results by using the Carb Manager tool daily.

It also plays a big part in my powerful Drop the Weight: Release 20 Pounds in 90 Days healing program!
