I firmly believe that our bodies need carbs. And that the foundation of a healthy diet is eating as little processed food as possible while eating as many nutrient-dense foods as possible.
When I’ve done a hard workout and need to replenish my glycogen stores, I eat rice, potatoes, fruit and CORN TORTILLAS. I don’t deprive my body of carbs.
However, my carbs are always as minimally processed as possible. I only eat corn tortillas where the ingredients are: corn, water and lime.

Also, the more SUPERFOODS you can include, the better off you are going to be.

Identify the weak areas then isolate and work on.
Below are a few common weak areas and exercises you can do to strengthen them.
