The Super Carb Diet Is the Latest Eating Trend—Here’s What You Need to Know

You Need Posted on by

Carbs get a bad rap. People seem to believe that eating them equals weight gain—and followers of low-carb, high-fat plans like keto seem content to do away with them all together. But there’s a new diet in town, and it’s a bread lover’s answer to this rise in carb phobia: the super carb diet.

No, the diet doesn’t recommend you eat only carbs (we wish). Created by former Biggest Loser trainer Bob Harper, super carb prioritizes balance across all macronutrients—proteins, fats, and carbs. Harper says each meal or snack you consume should be made up of 40% proteins, 30% fats, and 30% carbs.

RELATED: 7 Dangers of Going Keto

According to that ratio, you’re not actually eating a crazy amount of carbs. But the carbs you are eating should be “super” in the sense that they’re fiber-dense, so they fuel the body and are digested slowly. That includes things like 100% whole grain bread and pasta or fresh fruit.

“I didn’t want to live a life that was going to be so deprived that I wasn’t able to incorporate complex carbohydrates into my diet,” Harper tells Health. After he had a heart attack in February 2017, he created the super carb diet to make sure he was getting the nutrients he needed to maintain his weight and recover, he explains.

For Harper, a typical day on the diet consists of three standard meals and one snack, or as he calls it, a “floater meal.” For breakfast, he’ll make an egg sandwich with Ezekiel bread, and when lunch rolls around, he’ll whip up a grilled chicken breast with a quarter of an avocado, steamed veggies, and brown rice. For the last meal of the day, Harper will choose a lean red meat or fish along with brown rice or quinoa pasta and more veggies.

RELATED: The 50 Best Weight Loss Foods of All Time

Sometimes, if his sweet tooth is calling his name, Harper says he’ll leave fat off his dinner plate and have peanut butter for dessert instead. Overall, his number one guideline is sticking to foods that are processed as little as possible. “It’s a way to get people to start thinking about what they’re eating, so they’re not just eating mindlessly,” Harper says. 

Turns out, Harper’s method isn’t as new as it seems. Health contributing nutrition editor Cynthia Sass, MPH, RD, says “Dietitians have been recommending this balanced approach for decades.” Sass says Harper is right, carbs are not inherently fattening. The way they impact weight is determined by quality, portion size, and timing.

So why do people lose so much weight on low-carb diets? Those who see serious results were likely overeating highly processed carbs prior to completely cutting them out, she says. “The solution isn’t to remove carbs completely, but rather to choose nutrient-rich, unprocessed carbs, in amounts that will be burned and used by the body, based on your activity level and fuel demand,” Sass explains.

RELATED: You Asked: Can You Lose Weight Just from Your Stomach?

Though this eating plan might not be revolutionary in the world of nutrition, Sass says it’s encouraging people to look at their diets in a balanced way, and that is definitely beneficial. If the portions are appropriate based on a person’s needs, super carb could promote weight loss, she believes.

Sass recommends reaching for healthy carbs like sweet potatoes, quinoa, beans, lentils, and chickpeas. And if you’re intrigued by the diet, pick up Harper’s book, The Super Carb Diet: Shed Pounds, Build Strength, Eat Real Food ($18, amazon.com).

“Again, the idea is balance, with a goal of hitting just the right amount to allow for weight loss, but without robbing your body of key nutrients,” Sass says. “So it’s not a high carb diet or a low carb diet, but rather a just right carb diet.”

Jerk Chicken Drumsticks with Mango Jicama Sauce

You Need Posted on by

We get it, grilled chicken is your go to. It’s perfect to have on top of a salad, tucked into a wrap, in a bowl of pasta—and the list goes on. So it’s no surprise you’re looking to spice up your grilled chicken game, and we have the recipe you’ve been waiting for: jerk chicken drumsticks with mango jicama sauce.

You won’t believe it only takes 20 minutes to whip up this mouthwatering dish. Simply coat the drumsticks with spices, grill for 16 to 18 minutes, and make the sauce while the chicken cooks. If you don’t have a grill, don’t worry; it takes about the same amount of time to bake the drumsticks in the oven.

If you’re still not convinced, know that jicama is packed with fiber, meaning it’ll keep you full longer and promote weight loss. It’s also a good source of vitamin C, B-complex vitamins, and several minerals. Not to mention, the fruit is low in calories despite its sweet taste.

To make the sauce, you’ll mix jicama with mangoes, cabbage, scallions, lime juice, and honey, a seriously irresistible combination. If you’re not a meat eater, you can also use this sauce to top fish, tofu, or rice. Whether you’re a chicken enthusiast or could do without it, believe us, whatever you make with this jicama sauce will be out of this world.

Recipe Is:

How to Make It

Step 1

Preheat a gas grill to medium-high (400°F to 450°F). Stir together thyme, allspice, cayenne, ginger, 1 tablespoon of the oil, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt in a large bowl until combined. Add drumsticks; toss to coat.

Step 2

Place chicken on lightly oiled grill grates; grill, covered, turning occasionally, until charred and a thermometer inserted in thickest portion registers 165°F, 16 to 18 minutes. (Alternative cooking method: Preheat oven to 475°F. Place a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Place chicken on rack. Bake in preheated oven until a thermometer inserted in thickest portion registers 165°F, about 18 minutes.)

Step 3

While chicken cooks, whisk together lime juice, honey, and remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add mangos, jicama, cabbage, and scallions; toss to coat. Serve chicken with slaw.

4 Ways Your Workout Should Change After You Turn 40

You Need Posted on by

There's no getting around biology: with the passage of time, we all become a little stiffer, squishier, wobblier. But that said, the 40-something you can be as strong as ever. This is the message behind Fitness After 40 ($19; amazon.com), a practical guide by orthopedic surgeon and mobility specialist Vonda Wright, MD. The trick, she says, is exercising smarter. Below we've pulled four tips from the pages of her book that every active woman should take to heart.

RELATED: 20 Health Mistakes You Need to Stop Making Before You Turn 40

 

Work on your flexibility every day

As we age, our tendons and muscles tend to get tighter, and our risk of injury—tendinitis, in particular—goes up, says Dr. Wright, who directs the Performance and Research Initiative for Masters Athletes at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. She compares stiff connective tissues to dried-out rubber bands. One hard tug and the brittle material tears apart. This is why you need to stretch daily, she says.

One of her favorite techniques: foam rolling. "Essentially the log of hard foam serves as a rolling pin to break up small adhesions and scar tissues, thereby increasing blood flow to problem areas," she writes in her book. "Foam rolling first thing in the morning (after a hot shower) leaves you limber for the rest of the day."

Dr. Wright is also a big believer in dynamic stretching and warm-ups, which involve slow, controlled movements (like shoulder rolls and sumo squats) rather than static stretches (the grab-your-ankle-and-hold-for-30-seconds kind).

"Flexibility is so easy to ignore," she writes, but it's essential if you want to stay active. Mornings too crazy for yet another task? Stretch on your lunch break, she suggests, or in the evening while you watch TV.

Use your muscles—or you'll lose 'em

It's sad but true. Between your 25th birthday and your 50th, you could lose up to 10% of your muscle mass, Dr. Wright explains. Then over the next 30 years, you could lose another 45%. And it gets worse: Lost muscle is typically replaced by fat. "This fat makes us bigger all around because a pound of fat takes up 18% more room on our frame than a pound of fat," she writes.

But it doesn't have to be that way! You can prevent muscle loss by using your muscles. As the years go by, strength training becomes increasingly important, she says. Although by "strength training," Dr. Wright doesn't mean what you might think.

Step away from the weight machines

"Most of us grew up in an era when 'strengthening our quadriceps' meant sitting on a leg press machine and pushing a sled of weight up a slope," Dr. Wright says in the book. But have you ever pushed a sled uphill with your legs in real life? Probably not.

She wants you to train your muscles the way you actually use them—and build what's called functional strength. For example, in real life you use your quads in coordination with your hamstrings, butt and core to pick up kids, climb stairs, and load Ikea furniture in the car. So skip the leg press and do squats and lunges instead. (For more functional moves, check out this circuit from celebrity trainer Juliet Kaska.)

Work balance exercises into your regular routine

Stand on one leg like a stork. Really, give it a try right now! Tougher than you expected? We often don't realize our balance is going until we're toppling over, says Dr. Wright. Part of the problem is that with age, the neuromuscular connections that help keep us upright slowly decline. But the good news? Those nerve pathways "can be entirely reclaimed by specific daily attention," Dr. Wright assures. She suggests taking up tai chi, Pilates, or yoga, all of which can improve stability; or adding balance moves (like side leg raises and toe raises) to your usual workout. And every day, practice that stork impersonation while you brush your teeth.

Sport24.co.za | US power into early Ryder Cup lead despite Woods defeat

You Need Posted on by

Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines – The United States made a strong start to the Ryder Cup at Le Golf National on Friday as Jim Furyk’s men claimed a 3-1 lead after the opening session despite a defeat for Tiger Woods and Patrick Reed.

LIVE – Ryder Cup Day 1

The away team are bidding to win the trophy for the first time on European soil since 1993, and made an excellent start.

Brooks Koepka and Tony Finau stunned Jon Rahm and Justin Rose 1-up in the opening match, taking the lead for the first time at the final hole.

Dustin Johnson and Rickie Fowler then raised hopes of a repeat of the 2016 first-morning whitewash for the holders by swatting aside Rory McIlroy and Thorbjorn Olesen 4 and 2.

But after Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas edged out Tyrrell Hatton and Paul Casey in a thrilling match 1-up, British Open champion Francesco Molinari and Tommy Fleetwood produced a late surge to down a misfiring Woods and Reed 3 and 1.

The former world number one, playing in his first Ryder Cup since 2012, and the Masters champion were then left out by Furyk for the afternoon foursomes.

It is the Americans’ largest first-session lead in Europe since 1989.

Johnson and Fowler won the first point, easing past an out-of-sorts McIlroy and European rookie Olesen.

Dane Olesen struck his first Ryder Cup tee shot into the water, but spent much of the match carrying four-time major winner McIlroy, who was out of form, failing to make a single birdie or win a hole.

McIlroy and Olesen both missed lengthy birdie tries on the 16th hole to end a one-sided match with a whimper.

Europe led for the majority of the opening match, but collapsed late on as the US edged in front for the first time at the final hole.

Rose and Rahm took a 2-up lead after some sparkling play around the turn, but lost the momentum as Koepka and Finau drew level with two holes to play.

Rookie Finau, a captain’s pick by Furyk, saw his tee shot at the par-three 16th hit the wooden boards separating the green from the water, before spinning into the air and coming to rest three feet from the hole for a simple birdie.

“I like pulling those out when it really matters,” he smiled. “Sometimes you get a good kick. Sometimes you don’t.”

Spaniard Rahm bogeyed the 18th and FedEx Cup winner Rose found water to gift the Americans victory.

The visitors secured a third point as Spieth and Thomas held off a thrilling comeback from Casey and Hatton in a high-quality clash.

Spieth and Thomas, good friends off the course, raced into a 3-up advantage as the former poured in five birdies in the opening seven holes.

The 25-year-old Thomas maintained that lead with birdies at the ninth and 10th holes, but Casey made four straight birdies before a pin-point Hatton approach made it all-square with five to play.

The Americans edged back ahead, though, and Hatton missed a 15-foot attempt to salvage half a point on the last green.

“It was great. We had a great start, too. Playing Ryder Cups over here are extremely fun,” said three-time major winner Spieth. “We were able to feed off each other.”

The home side started a possible fightback, though, with the heroics of Fleetwood sending the crowd into delirium with magnificent birdie putts on the 15th and 16th to grab a 2-up lead on Woods and Reed, having been 2-down after 10.

The big-name American pairing were off the pace throughout despite a strong start by Woods.

But the 14-time major champion lost his way on the back nine, with him and Reed both finding water and missing several fairways, leaving Molinari with a simple two-putt to get Europe on the board.

The Italian did even better than that, draining his birdie try to secure his first-ever full Ryder Cup point on his third appearance in style.

“There is nothing like it,” said Fleetwood after his first Ryder Cup match.

“And that’s just my first morning experience. Guys have done this ten times. There is nothing like it, and I can’t wait to get out and do it again.”

Results on Friday from the 42nd Ryder Cup between Europe and the United States at Le Golf National:

United States 3 Europe 1

Morning fourballs:

Brooks Koepka/Tony Finau (USA) bt Justin Rose/Jon Rahm (Europe) 1-up

Dustin Johnson/Rickie Fowler (USA) bt Rory McIlroy/Thorbjorn Olesen (Europe) 4 and 2

Francesco Molinari/Tommy Fleetwood (Europe) bt Patrick Reed/Tiger Woods (USA) 3 and 1

Afternoon foursomes:

13:50: Henrik Stenson/Justin Rose (Europe) v Dustin Johnson/Rickie Fowler (USA)

14:05: Rory McIlroy/Ian Poulter (Europe) v Bubba Watson/Webb Simpson (USA)

News24.com | Three separate train fires delay Western Cape commuters

You Need Posted on by

A shooting and a fire have caused serious train delays at Mbekweni station in Paarl in the Western Cape, says Metrorail.

Train number 3520 was set alight at 12:26 at the station, following a shooting incident, spokesperson Zino Mihi told News24.

She was unable to confirm information on injuries, arrests or affected commuters because of the rapidly unfolding situation.

“We don’t know as yet because everybody is there on site.”

Metrorail announced that, as a result of the incident, train journey times would increase by over an hour while investigations are ongoing and the area is being cleared.

Service impact

Mihi said the two incidents appeared to be related, though she was quick to point out that the investigation was in the very early stages.

“There’re two incidents: The shooting and also the fire. The shooting incident happened first and soon after that the train was burning. We have the dots to connect because it happened minutes apart.”

The South African Police Service confirmed the incident.

“The circumstances are being investigated but a man was shot when he tried to attack another man and commuters set the train alight,” Lieutenant Colonel André Traut told News24.

Metrorail has had to deal with a number of train fires over the past several months, in addition to vandalism of equipment and theft of cables.

Mihi said that Metrorail requires a minimum of 88 train sets to operate the service in the Western Cape, and it only has 42 reliable sets at the moment.

She indicated the entity would be releasing statistics for arrests of cable thieves next week.

One coach is also burning at Cape Town station.

“One train coach is burning,” Mihi told News24, adding that the fire started at 14:35.

“We’re going to have a seriously reduced service,” she said about the impact on commuters as the company prepares for the afternoon peak.

Meanwhile in Firgrove, the city’s fire and rescue service also responded just before 14:00 to Firgrove railway station where they are currently dealing with two railway carriages that have been set alight.

“No injuries have been reported and currently we have 16 firefighters at the Firgrove incident,” the city’s fire and rescue spokesperson Theo Layne said.
