7 Nutritional MUSTS before you undertake exercise

Don't waste your time exercising unless you are doing the following first. Doing so will make sure your efforts in the gym are rewarded with RESULTS.

Here is a checklist, beginning in order from the most important

1) Eat a solid breakfast within an hour of waking up. The meal should have adequate amounts of Carbohydrates and Proteins.

2) Dthe amount of carbs you get as the day goes on. Example; in the mornings you can carb up, but every meal from then on should be decreasing in carb content. You get with your last meal at night comprised mostly of proteins.

3) Get a MINUMUM of 4 meals a day and they should be about 3 hours apart. Make sure you have adequate amounts of protein in these meals. Getting this protein will help support the muscle(fat burning tissue).

4) Drink lots of water. This will help overall health and allow you to lean out and clean out your system.

5) Pay attention to the quality of the carbohydrates you are getting. They should be complex/healthy ones. Look up the glycemic index and use this as a guide.

6) Get ample amounts of protein. You will need proteins to rebuild muscles you are breaking down. Taking a whey protein shake in the morning and an hour after workouts can be beneficial because this is a very fast digesting protein that your body can utilize quickly.

7) Get some healthy fats. This doesn't mean hohos and twinkies. It means monosaturated fats, polysaturated fats, and Omega 3 fats.
