Mike Furci's Authorized Foods
Furci Home / Fitness Channel / Bullz-Eye Home
The list of "Authorized Foods" below is not complete, but is a good quick reference. The glycemic index of the listed carbohydrates are moderate to low. The lower the glycemic index, the better. And although these carbs are acceptable, you cannot eat 14 servings per meal and expect to lose weight. Choose your carbs carefully and only have one serving per meal if your metabolism allows. The vegetables (fibrous carbs) listed can be eaten in any amount and are preferred over starchy carbs.
Remember, proper nutrition is just as, if not more important than, exercising. What do you think repairs and maintains every cell in your body? The cells of your bones, blood, muscles, skin and even your hair are in a constant state of regeneration. Meaning, old cells are being replaced and repaired by new ones. So you can see why it is so important to give your body the top quality nutrition it needs.
Make sure to purchase as much organic food as you can. Try to buy eggs laid by chickens that are “free range.” Although, true free range eggs are very difficult to find, the nutritional value is well worth it. If you’re going to eat beef, which you should, choose grass fed. If beef from grass fed cattle isn’t available, always choose the leanest cuts and add good fats when cooking.
