In an effort to lose weight, people often scale back on the food they eat, but in some cases it can be too extreme which can be detrimental to your results.
You have got to make sure you're getting enough fuel to keep you going all day, whether you're training hard, resting, or somewhere in between.
When people start to notice changes on the scales, they feel good about themselves. They like what they see in the mirror, it becomes infectious, but in an effort to get further results, they then begin to consistently under-eat.
The danger however is not having adequate energy available to support a range of bodily functions.
You shouldn't underestimate what your body requires in order to recover from training and continue to function optimally each day.
Let’s not forget. Your body needs fuels to function and that fuel comes from adequate food and a healthy diet, not scaling back and under-eating.
Eating more of the right foods at the right times can help you achieve the intensities and results you have been missing.
Employ the following tips below which will help you to get the most out of your nutrition and your workouts: -
(1) ACKNOWLEDGE BODY FEEDBACK – Your body is brilliant at telling you what it needs. If you are chronically fatigued after workouts, you probably need more fuel for recovery, not less.
(2) TRUST YOUR APPETITE – Your body’s unique hunger signals are there to help guide you when to eat and drink. When hunger signals come flooding in, find food rather than putting it off, thinking you’re doing your body a favour in the long run.
(3) DON'T SKIP MEALS – This is a sure fire way to limit your progress and can potentially leave you feeling light headed when at the gym. If you train in the mornings, eat fast-digesting carbs before your session and a combination of carbohydrates and protein after your workout to help fuel recovery.
(4) ADJUST CARB INTAKE – If you have dropped your carbs significantly, reassess whether it is having an influence on your general exergy levels and mood. Chances are you may need to introduce them slowly.
(5) CONSUME NATURAL FOODS – Whole grain foods, fruits and vegetables, yogurt, milk, nuts and lean protein should form the main chunk of your shopping list each week. Organically grown foods for example have more nutrients, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and micronutrients than commercially grown foods.
