You have a good hard workout at the gym - you've put all you effort into it and when you finished what do you want?
Well, besides knowing that its done you real good, you want a shower(great), a drink (great) and something to eat (great).
I've got news for you. One of those high energy sports drink, or a high energy bar to eat is probably one of the worst things you could do. Contrary to popular thinking they will immediately cancel out all the time and effort - all that blood, sweat and tears that you've just put in.
Why? I wanted to know that as well, as I thought to aid recovery high energy food and drink was just whats required.
Well, we know that exercise removes sugar from the blood and helps greatly in your quest for easy weight loss.High energy eating and drinking cancels this out and replaces all the calories you've just sweated away.
NO BENEFIT TO YOU!!!
High energy carbohydrates just replace the calories you just lost!!
Be careful what you eat and drink after exercise - speak to your fitness coach if you have one - take it steady for a few hours afterwards and bide your time before you take in a load of calories.
It gives your body time to return to normal, and your metabolism will cope better with the calorie in-take.
It will probably take a lot a self-control on your part, but it will be of
GREAT BENEFIT TO YOU!!
