Your Flexibility... by contributing author Rob Poulos, Fat Loss & Fitness Expert |
Ok my friends, I want to introduce Ron Poulos to you - he's a friend, and a
terrific fat loss coach.
Let's first begin with some tips he has to help you burn more fat just by eating a simple pre-exercise meal (it's amazing by the way), and then having another bite immediately after your workout.
Who-da-guessed... eat more delicious food to burn more fat :-) What a way to live!!!
...but at the end of this page, you're going to find a link to a special video that Rob created to show you why those few extra pounds of fat are still stuck on you, and how to get them off, once and for all.
Enjoy,
Chris

A Great Fat Loss Workout? Here's What You're
Going To Eat Before & After For Your Best Workout Ever
 |
While a lot of people are now aware that what they eat after a properly conducted fat burning workout (resistance training, especially) is important for getting the best results from their fat loss efforts, I still get loads of questions from my newsletter subscribers about the best way to eat AFTER and BEFORE their workouts. So, with that in mind, I would like to set the record straight, because proper pre and post workout nutrition will lead to more fat loss, a higher resting metabolic rate, and more muscle and strength gained from all of your efforts...and at a much faster rate. Some of the most common questions I get are: |
1.
What should I eat after my workout, and how soon should I eat it?
2. Do I need to drink my post workout meal or can I eat regular food?
3. Is there anything I should be eating special before my workout as well as
after to maximize my results?
Alright, let's get crackin'...
1. What should I eat after
my workout, and how soon should I eat it?
For about 30 minutes after your workout, your body is primed for nutrient
absorption...a time when you'll want to shuttle proteins and carbohydrates
to it as quickly as possible for faster muscle repair and protein synthesis
(this leads to a better and longer lasting fat burning effect.)
This means eating "fast acting" carbs and protein (in about a
60/40 ratio of carbs to protein) within 30 minutes (the sooner the better) after
your workout. Fast acting proteins include whey and egg proteins. Fast
acting carbs include dextrose, white bread, or white rice (the carbs you
SHOULDN'T eat during your regular meals).
You'll also want to avoid fiber and fat here, as they will just slow down
the nutrient intake speed. (REMEMBER you've only got a few minutes before
that window closes).
2. Do I need to drink my post workout meal or
can I eat regular food?
You can certainly eat your post workout meal, but with timing being of such
critical importance, using a liquid meal will get the nutrients out of the
stomach even faster. Plus it's much more convenient.
Sometimes I'll make my own post workout shake, which includes a 8 oz. of
water or non fat milk, a scoop of whey protein, a large banana, and some ice
cubes or frozen berries.
3. Is there anything I should be eating
special before my workout
as well as after to maximize my results?
Recent studies have shown even better results from fat loss resistance
training (like the workouts used in my Fat
Burning Furnace program) when you include a similar post workout
meal BEFORE your workout!
Yeah, how crazy is that?
Apparently,
consuming a similar meal about 60 minutes prior to your workout will
increase muscle protein synthesis even more.
Pre workout meals are also important because you'll want to make sure your
muscle glycogen stores are full so that you're able to workout with maximum
intensity, getting the most of out those few precious workout minutes.
So here's what I do to make all of this easy on me: About 30 minutes before
my workout, I mix up 2 servings of Post Workout shake, with a banana, 12-16
oz. of water or non fat milk and a few ice cubes in a blender.
-> I drink about a third of it right away, then just finish the rest within a few minutes after my workout is over.
So that's it!
I
hope you'll take these pre and post workout tips to heart...and more
importantly, to stomach! Now, all of this would be for nothing if
you didn't have a killer workout plan to begin with, so...
