The Four Hour Body -Week 8

Carb Overload, Again...
Every week cheat day comes along and we do the same thing, binge on carbs! This week was no different. Despite our pledges to do a "healthy cheat day" full of whole grains, quinoa, fruit, and sushi, we go straight for the sugar and white carbs.

We kicked off this last Saturday with some chocolate croissants from Trader Joe's. I was extra hungry coming back from an 11 mile run, so I also had a bowl of an organic Cheerio style cereal with coconut flakes, peanut butter, and chia seeds.

Kelly on the other hand supplemented her croissants with chocolate covered potato chips. Shortly after this splurge the effects of the sugar kicked in. I was immediately zapped of all my energy and hit with a headache. Kelly was worse and actually got so sick she was tossing cookies!
