Not all calories are created equal. In fact, there are three different kinds of calories; carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. If we stick with the analogy that calories are the working class of our own bodies, then,like employees, calories come with a variety of benefits and drawbacks. In a well run business, it's the boss's responsibility to recognize which workers they need and to which assignments that person would best be suited. This is evident in the format of numerous applications we've filed and interviews we've encountered in our own work experiences.
Let us look at carbohydrates as though they've presented us with it's resume. The carbohydrate is a hard-working but highly energetic individual. Give them a tedious chore or exercise and they will get it done. However, most carbohydrates are average to below average workers. Carbs need lots of supervision. This is why it is necessary to observe your carbohydrate caloric intake and make sure that the carbs you "hire on" are assets to your body.Carbohydrates come from two families, Simple and Complex. Simple is basically sugar! Carbohydrate workers come in multiple forms, and some are very essential to your diet while others are harmful. The names of these workers are often Cupcake, Chocolate,Apple, Pineapple,Spaghetti and Cherrios. While some of these applicants may seem more appealing than others in the interview, you may find that your character judgement was based on likeability and not functionality. Work with a Pineapple for awhile, you may find they are just as sweet as Cupcakes can be!
Fructose is the hardest worker. You obtain fructose from fruits. However, there are those employees who always say "I do so much work around here" but we all know they don't. We call this poser "High Fructose Corn Syrup", because as hard as this Cornball is trying to work hard, he will NEVER measure up to Fructose. Why? Simply put, Corn is not digestible, so the factory says "we need to get rid of this worker, he is slowing down progress" and all these HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) workers become Fat. And if the factory doesn't learn to quit hiring HFCS then the quality of the factory and it's products will always suffer and may eventually close down. Starch is such a comfort. If Starch worked at Wal*Mart she'd be at customer returns, dressing room, and greeting customers with a smile! Can you picture Paula Deen? That'd be starch. Tasty pie crust, yummy biscuits, tasty oatmeal bars! Unfortunately, if you stand in place too long those starches start to hang around your waist like the cake doughnut you had for breakfast. Too much starch would also but you at higher risk of becoming diabetic, as starch is a sugar and when broken down it spikes insulin levels. All sugars must be monitored! However, we love a smile and some friendly help from time to time, so allow yourself some starch too.
Carbohydrates are the bottom of the totem pole in the company. It's not that carbs are all lazy or don't deserve a higher position, it's just that they have to prove themselves. And if given the proper training, and going through the proper exercises, carbs can become an intergral part of the system sculpting together departments like muscle and stamina.
