“The closest thing to a magic bullet?
Good post workout nutrition.”
- Alwyn Cosgrove, Wold Renowned Fat Loss Coach
Recovery nutrition is a VERY hot topic in the fitness world. Researchers have found that a simple combination of protein and carbs improve exercise performance, body composition, and health. Studies also show that lean muscle “tones up” with a recovery drink, a great benefit from this one simple switch…
What types of nutrients am I talking about? The best are a liquid supplement with rapidly-digested protein and carbohydrates. No fancy ingredients – all you need to do is drink it at the right time.
When you time it right, you get the following benefits from your recovery drink:
- Improved recovery from exercise, including better performance in your next workout
- Less Muscle soreness
- Increased ability to build lean tissue
- Improved immune system (since your body doesn’t stay in a catabolic state)
- Improved bone mass and reduced risk of osteoporosis
- IMPROVED FAT BURNING
What type of drink should you choose?
Easy, just look for a formulated recovery drink that contains fast-digesting carbs (dextrose/glucose) and fast-digesting protein (whey).
Wait, wait, wait… isn’t sugar bad? Well, no. There’s not many universally “good” or “bad” foods. Just good or bad times to eat them.
This one time – right after your workout – sugar offers some cool benefits. The rest of the day though, you’ll want to avoid it.
So if you’re serious about your health and achieving your weight loss goals, make sure you’re taking care of your post-workout nutrition.
