Carbs and Cardio - What Every Woman Needs to Know

Hey bestie. Let’s talk about something that causes a lot of confusion. Carbs and Cardio - What Every Woman Needs to Know. You might have heard people say things like "cut carbs to lose fat" or "carbs make cardio harder." But the truth is, carbs are not bad. In fact, they help you get better results from your workouts.

This Tip Tuesday, we are breaking it all down. You will learn how carbs support your body during cardio, how to use them for fat loss, and why women need carbs to feel their best. Plus, we will show how the MUV App can help you stay on track with your nutrition and training.

Carbs give you energy

Cardio uses energy. Your body gets that energy from complex carbs. When you eat carbs, your body stores them as glycogen. This is what your muscles use when you run, walk, cycle, or do any form of cardio. Without comp,ex carbs, your energy drops fast.

Cutting carbs can slow you down

Some people think that cutting carbs helps burn more fat. But if your body has no fuel, it cannot train hard. That means you burn fewer calories and may lose muscle. Including complex carbs within a good intake balance is key. 

Women need carbs to stay balanced

Women’s hormones respond to stress and low energy. When you go too low on carbs, your body feels stress. This can mess with your cycle, slow your metabolism, and make you feel tired.

Pick good carbs

Choose carbs that give you steady energy. Go for:

• Oats

• Brown rice

• Sweet potato

• Whole grain toast

• Fruit like berries or bananas

Stay away from sugary snacks and soda. These spike your blood sugar and can cause crashes.

You do not need carbs during cardio unless you go longer than 60 minutes.

Match your carbs to your workout

If your cardio is light or short, you need fewer carbs. If it is long or intense, you need more.

Myth 1: Carbs make you gain fat
Truth: Eating too much food causes fat gain. Not ONLY carbs alone.

Truth: Without carbs, your workouts suffer. You burn less in total.

Myth 3: Carbs at night are bad
Truth: Your body still uses energy at night. It is fine to eat carbs at dinner if they fit your day. And fruit also counts as carbs
