**Losing weight ** Losing weight is the probably the biggest problem many of us face on a daily basis. It is possibly the favourite New Year's Resolution along with giving up smoking. It is one of the hardest things to achieve and stay positive at the same time. Losing weight naturally is better for you than any fad or crash dieting programs. Fads and crash diets make you lose fluid and muscle tone first, that is why it is so hard to keep the weight off. By changing your eating habits and doing more exercise the weight will gradually disappear. You don't have to do everything at once either. Cut some things back first; limit your chocolate bars to one or two a week instead of one or two every day. Little goals are easier to reach than that huge goal of twenty or thirty kilograms. Be nice to yourself and have a treat outside of the home instead of keeping tempting ice cream in the freezer. Keep a food diary When you want to lose weight one of the easiest to track when and where ...

  Beginner Supplement :      Protein powder  Protein powder is probably the single most popular workout supplement. This is because when you want to build muscle through strength training your body requires more protein for a muscle repair and growth after a workout. While this doesn't mean you have to use protein powders to reach your recommended daily protein intake, consuming enough protein every day can be tricky. Especially when you don't have time to prepare high protein meals all the time, a good protein powder can really make your life easier. That is why most athletes and bodybuilders use protein powders in addition to a balanced diet. You probably already know this and might just be asking yourself which protein powder is best. From whey to casein to vegan, there are a lot of options to choose from and within the fitness and bodybuilding community there is alw always a lot of discussion about which is best. But as I explain here, it most likely won't m...

  Supplements We all know that supplements can never replace proper diet planning and nutrition, but they can help you reach your fitness goals faster. Unfortunately, with so many different supplements on the market it can difficult to choose the right ones. I remember how intimidated I was after my first visit to the local supplement store, where they had literally hundreds of powders, bars and pills.It's also not helpful that most supplement ads make promises that are often exaggerated and sometimes even flat-out lies. You should always be skeptical when someone tells you they lost crazy amounts of fat with some new product, especially if they're trying to sell it to you. The simple truth is that the supplement industry is huge. Huge as in BILLIONS of dollars. It is also true that most of that money is spent on worthless supplements that won't have any effect on muscle growth or fat loss. So to help you find the ones that are worth their price tag, here is my short list o...

  The Perfect Post-Workout Meal Now that you know what to eat before your workout let's see what best after your workout. Your post-workout meal is meant to supply your body with everything it will need to repair and recover the muscle tissue that was broken down during your workout. Specifically, the goal of the post-workout meal is to accomplish the following: 1)Replenish muscle glycogen that was depleted during your workout 2)Reduce muscle protein breakdown caused by exercise 3) Reduce muscle soreness and fatigue 4) Enhance overall recovery How can you achieve this? By giving your body the same macronutrients you did in the pre workout meal: Carbs and Protein. Again, your primary goal with your post-workout meal is to consume a good amount of both carbs and protein in some form soon after your workout  How much protein and carbs exactly? Again around 0.2 to 0.25 g/lbs of your body weight (for both carbs and protein). If you're really hungry you can increase the carbs, too. ...

  The Perfect Pre-Workout meals  Once you know you're getting all of your total macros right for the day, both your pre and post workout meal are the most important meals of the day (and not your breakfast like many people believe). Let's first talk about pre workout nutrition. It's main function is to fuel the workout itself and maximize your performance throughout. Sounds simple, right? That's because it is. Unfortunately, the fitness world has really overcomplicated this, and many gurus will sell you super specific recommendations or products that really don't make a difference. Let's cut through all of that nonsense and figure out exactly what you should be eating before your workout. Like I said before this meal is meant to fuel your workout. In a scientific sense it's meant to do three things: Reduce muscle glycogen depletion. Reduce muscle protein breakdown.  Reduce post workout cortisol levels. How exactly do you accomplish this? Easy, you eat carbs ...

  The Right Carbohydrate sources  Just like protein quality, carbohydrate quality can be measured in a number of ways. The most common is the glycemic index. In its simplest form, the glycemic index is a measure of both how fast a food raises blood glucose levels, and how much it elevates insulin levels. This measure is generally applied to carbohydrates and ranks them from 0 to 100. The faster a carb is absorbed and the larger its effect on insulin, the closer it will be to 100. Slower absorbing and digesting carbs on the other hand will be closer to zero. Here is a short list of common carbs and their GI ratings: Dextrose Powder 100 Honey 87 Bran Flakes 74 White Bread 70 Orange Juice 57 Most Beans 20-40 Apples 39 Tomatoes 38 Carrots 35 Peanuts 13 Again, just as with protein quality the glycemic index comes with a big "but". Here is the problem: GI rankings are based on the glycemic effects of specific foods that are consumed isolated and fasted state. That means unless you ...
