What To NEVER Eat After Your Workout

What To NEVER Eat After Your Workout

I ran across this great report from Prograde Nutrition and I thought I would add their resource.  Their report is 39 pages but I will share the highlights and give you the option to download their free nutrition report.

  • Avoid eating excessive fat in your post-workout meal – this will slow carbohydrate and protein absorption and minimize the anabolic effects of insulin.
  • Avoid consuming alcohol – it stops your body from being able to replenish muscle glycogenstores and reduces the muscle protein repair process.
  • Avoid waiting too long to eat – you will miss your “recovery window” if you wait longer than 60 minutes to eat. Plus, your blood sugars will likely drop leaving you starving for food.
  • Avoid consuming slow-digesting, high-fiber carbs with incomplete protein. Your carbs should be quick-digesting and your protein should contain all the essential amino acids.
  • Avoid junk food, empty calories and processed fats in the several hours following your workout – You need quality food all day long to help you build a better body.
  • Drink plenty of water and be well hydrated before, during, and after each exercise bout to maximize performance and ensure an optimal hormonal response.
  • Most importantly, never eat nothing after your workout. You’re better off eating something rather than skipping a meal for several hours after your exercise session is over.

Does Bread Really Make You Fat?

breadmakesyoufat 300x198 Does Bread Really Make You Fat?

I just had a conversation with my mother-in-law last week about bread making her fat. She decided to cut bread out of her diet. I wondered to myself, “Does she really need to do that?” A few days later, I received an article in my email on this very subject from a top nutritionist at Prograde.

The simple response is it depends on which type of bread.

Avoid the breads that contain white flour, refined flour, enriched flour, enriched wheat flour, enriched bleached flour and wheat flour. There are more, but these are the big ones you need to look out for.

Why do you need to avoid these?

Read here for the rest of the story…

As I strolled through the grocery store in the bread aisle, I was shocked that so many different kinds breads have high fructose corn syrup! This is a high contributor to belly fat!! I have always looked at labels for all types of foods but have rarely looked at bread labels.

I also noticed that many breads are labeled “high in fiber” with only 2 g of fiber so I continued my search until I found a bread that had no high fructose corn syrup (that took a while) and a higher fiber count. The breads that have double fiber are better since fiber is what gives you satiety, the feeling of being full.

Have you looked at bread labels lately? Have you been making extra effort to stay away from foods that have high fructose corn syrup? Let us know in the comments. That has certainly been my goal the past 2 years.

First off, I want to say WELCOME BACK!! Sheesh, it’s almost been 2 months since I’ve posted here on Fat Loss By Eating What You Want! An imbecile hacked into this blog and it took me a little while to get it fixed. Thanks so much to my wordpress guru Ronald Vanweerd and Tony Newton for helping me to restore my blog design. I appreciate you guys soo much! icon smile Does Cayenne Pepper Help You Lose Weight? Ok on to the article..

What is Capsaicin?

Capsaicin is the major heat-producing component in hot red peppers.

The amount of capsaicin, or spicy heat, delivered in a pepper is rated within a unit of measure called the Scoville scale. The number of Scoville Heat Units (SHU) in this scale tells you how much capsaicin is present.  The chart above shows you Scoville ratings of different peppers with pure capsaicin (also spelled capsaician) having the highest ranking and bell peppers having the least.

How Does Capsaicin Help You Get Rid of Body Fat?

There are three main mechanisms by which capsaicin can help you fight the battle of the bulge:

1.    Increases energy expenditure
2.    Deters fat cell growth
3.    Reduces food intake
