The secret to this woman’s insane bod involves plenty of CARBS..Yay!
Over the past few years an increasing number of so-called dieting experts have preached the banning of carbohydrates as a means of losing weight.
But unfortunately for those of us whose willpower can at times be a little lax, dodging an entire – and terribly delicious – food group can quickly become a major struggle.
Thankfully a number of women have come forward in recent months to share their carb positive body transformation stories, and if Madalin Frodsham’s bikini pics are anything to go by, we’ve a feeling carbohydrates aren’t as detrimental to dieters as many would have you believe.
After growing sick of constantly having to count calories, the 27-year-old Australian sought the help of a nutrition coach who advised her to up the volume of carbs in her diet by a massive 45 percent.
Admittedly, this news didn't exactly send Madalin straight into the arms of a bread, pasta and chip-filled love fest, but in order to reach her body transformation goals she did increase the levels of complex carbohydrates in her diet.
Complex carbs are those which are made up of long chains of sugar molecules and include wholemeal grains, legumes and everyone’s favourite sweet potatoes.
According to the Daily Mail Australia, eating more carbohydrates while keeping track of her macronutrient intake – the levels of carbs, protein and fats in the diet – allowed Ms Frodsham to increase her body’s muscle definition without changing her exercise regime or weight.
Interestingly this process also allowed Madalin to up her calorie intake from 800 calories per day to 1,800.
So, what’s Madalin’s advice to those avoiding these nutritious delights? Well obviously: Carb it up!
“Don’t do what I did for so long,” she said. “Don’t waste your time eating salad when you could be eating sweet potatoes and banana pancakes.”
Madalin, we really like your style!
