The Silent Killer of Your Fitness Goals And the Fix Everyone’s Ignoring
In today’s world, you’re often told that extreme diets and intense workouts are the quickest paths to being fit.
However, these methods can be hard to maintain, leading many to revert to old habits unless faced with serious health warnings.
That’s why you aren’t making any progress with weight loss.
Through years of experience, I’ve found that understanding how our minds and bodies function is key to lasting results.
Intentional and Manageable Training
Many people exercise without clear goals, focusing solely on burning calories.
This aimless approach can be discouraging and cause you to stop exercising after awhile.
Instead, adopting short, intentional workouts makes it easier for both the mind and body to adapt, leading to lasting results.
A good personal trainer will help you with a customised workout.
Understanding the Body's Response
Rome wasn’t built in a day.
The body needs time to absorb and build. The initial muscle growth often happens within the first 24-72 hours after a workout as the body repairs muscle damage, and visible muscle growth can take 4-6 weeks.
Recognizing that this is a gradual process can prevent frustration.
Thinking that training harder means more and faster results, will lead to you being demotivated when actual results don’t meet your expectations.
Simplifying Nutrition
Nutrition can seem complex, but it’s actually simple and revolves around 3 main macronutrients.
🍚Carbohydrates (sugars): These provide you with energy to complete your entire workout which results in more growth. Pre-work, go for food like bananas, oats and yogurt if you want something natural. Otherwise, protein bars and shakes have been formulated for pre-workout nutrition.
🥩Proteins: This macronutrient is responsible for the recovery of your muscle tissues. Some good sources of protein include:
Lean meats: Beef, lamb, pork
Poultry: Chicken, turkey, duck
Fish and seafood: Salmon, tuna, halibut, prawns, crab, lobster, mussels, oysters, scallops, and clams
Eggs: A whole source of protein
Dairy products: Milk, yogurt, and cheese, especially cottage cheese
Nuts and seeds: Almonds, pine nuts, walnuts, macadamias, hazelnuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and sunflower seeds
Legumes and beans: All beans, lentils, chickpeas, and split peas
Quinoa: A complete protein that contains all nine essential amino acids
Potatoes: A starchy carb that’s also a good source of protein
🥑Healthy Fats: These will regulate hormones and help your health overall.
Go for natural sources like nuts, fatty fish like salmon, eggs and avocadoes.
All foods break down into these elements.
Understanding their functions is crucial to craft a crazy effective diet that works like nothing you’ve ever seen before.
Timing Your Intake
When you eat is as important as what you eat.
After an overnight fast, breakfast is crucial for replenishing nutrients.
Post-workout meals are also vital, as the body is primed to absorb calories for recovery and growth.
Neglecting this can also be another reason why you aren’t making progress.
Focusing on just these two windows can simplify your dietary planning and make it easier to craft a fantastic diet.
