Body Fuel: Carbohydrates and Energy

If you’re looking to get lean and strong you have to fuel your body.  And that’s the point of this upbeat Canadian fitness and nutrition show, Body Fuel.

Hosted on the Men TV network, Body Fuel investigates the ways in which food and supplements can interact with our body chemistry to create powerful, athletic, and sculpted bodies.

And each week on Body Fuel, I host a short segment called Ask Dr John. In this segment I tackle a host of important, frequently asked questions about food, fitness, supplements, health, and performance.

In this week’s episode, I answer the following question:

“Is it necessary to carb up with starches (like pasta and rice) before working out?”
