Eat smaller portions more often:
Try eating at least every four hours and make sure that you have a good source of protein and complex carbohydrate each time you eat.
Eat breakfast!
Try eating a combination of complex carbohydrates and protein at least 1 hour after waking up.
Plan a snack after each work out:
Try eating within 30 minutes of your work out to re-fuel your body
Increase your intake of 3 Omega Fatty Acids:
While we need 6 Omega Fatty Acids and 9 Omega Fatty Acids as well as the 3 Omega Fatty Acids, typically our modern diet provides adequate 9 Omega Fatty Acids and too many 6 Omega Fatty Acids, so your focus should be on obtaining more 3 Omega Fatty Acids. Best choices would be cold pressed oils, in dark containers, and organic.
Drink water:
Water is necessary for health. While drinks like sodas and fruit juice contain water they also contain sugars and other chemicals that Mother Nature didn’t make. Water is the purest fluid and should be the first choice.
Focus on Quality of the food you eat, not the calories:
Eating a quality diet is more important to your long term health than the number of calories you eat. Just like your car needs the right ratio of gas, oil and water—our bodies need the correct ratio of carbohydrates, fat and protein.
You can not process even quality food correctly if you are not active:
Your goal should be at least 30 minutes a day of activity that combines cardiovascular, flexibility and strengthening. It can even be done in 3, 10 sessions. |
