Sickness and in Health

[kamrr4437]

Diet wise plenty of healthy protein. Just try not to eat anything fried. Lots of vegetables. Exercise with a regular routine like For instance for me it is Legs on Sundays, Chest on Mondays, Arms Tues, Back on Wed and Shoulders Thurs. Do abs everyday. But i rest Fri and Sat to spend time out with my wife and kids on those nights. I find that having certain thing set on certain days keeps me more focused and you get a better workout that way. You can also take a protein supplement to help you get enough protein each day. The average person who doesnt work out should get about 1 gram per pound of protein a day. If you do work out try to get 2 grams per pound of protein a day. Many people dont know that when you work out your tearing the muscles. You need the protein to build it back. You need a good multivitamin. And carbs are another important factor. Timing is crucial. You need to eat what is called slow digesting carbs all the time on average. For instance Whole wheat bread like the other gentleman said is a slow digesting carb. Sweet potatoes not (yams) but a regular sweet potato is a slow digesting carb and is better for you than a regular potato which is a fast digesting carb. Pasta is a fast digesting carb as a pose to wheat pasta. Brown rice is slow digesting as a pose to white rice. By eating slow digesting carbs its not fattening your body uses it efficiently and it last longer for fuel. Fast digesting carbs cause and insulin spike which give you energy levels a crash and make you feel sluggish. But timing these carbs is the key. Basically slow digesting all the time until after a workout. Then within 30 minutes of good hard exercise eat fast digesting carbs. They will replenish the glygogen in your muscles and speed recovery without any negative side affects. Above all practice the dont eat crap diet. If it looks like it would be crap it probably is. Candy bar vs tomato. Its simple. Dont forget to reward yourself with something special every once in a while as long as its in moderation. And as the gentleman above said be happy. Have something for yourself for me it is weapons, drag racing and working out and my family. Keep yourself happy and focused on goals short or long term and the rest falls into place. And as previously has been stated plenty of water. Not soft drinks.
