Complete Sports Diet Plan
“What’s the fastest way to lose weight…..
…… in the Gym, Running, Exercise, etc. ?”
.
- Spent hours in the gym or running without the results you hoped?
- Feel fitter but don’t seem to be able to lose those inches?
- Desperate to get to your ideal weight?
- Not sure where to start, how to get the best results?
.
Introduction ….
If you go to the gym, go running or do exercise to lose weight then getting better results will depend as much on your diet as well as all the hours you spend training.
For example something as simple doing exercise or playing sport on an empty ‘fuel tank’ (or one containing the wrong fuel) can result in you feeling tired all the time, have problems concentrating, shorten your stamina and endurance or take longer to recover.
Especially if you want to lose weight (or get a nicer shape) and at the same time get better sport results then the key is to use the right sports nutrition plan, and avoiding the two most common mistakes
.
Mistake 1 – Eating the wrong food
For sport what you eat is just as important as how much and when you eat.
Especially if you want to combine sports like running & cycling with losing weight you need to focus on eating the right foods.
In particular eating foods with a low glycemic index will make all the difference to your results.
.
Because the lower the GI index the better…
The Glycemic Index is a tool that anyone looking to increase energy, get better sports performance, lose fat and just feel better needs to understand.
All carbohydrates (like pasta, potatoes, bread, etc.) convert to blood sugar-some fast, some slow- and the Glycemic Index measures the rate the conversion takes place.
Eating high-glycemic carbohydrates (ones that turn to sugary quickly) will hinder your fat burning process and decrease your energy levels.
Here’s why:
- When you eat high-glycemic carbs, your blood sugar levels soar ;
- and yes you might get a very short term energy burst
- (there are much better ways of boosting energy levels)
- but….
- ……. you are also telling your pancreas to produce insulin.
One of the roles of insulin is to keep your blood sugar levels regulated – but it is also a storage hormone.
When your sugars go up, your body produces the storage hormone to clear the excess sugars. Those sugars end up in fatty tissue.
Ultimately, you are gaining fat, because internally, you are telling your body to store.
Here’s how it relates to sports and energy levels:
- When you overproduce insulin, you clear the sugars out of your blood
- - the end result is that you are now hypoglycemic.
- What does that mean?
- Blood sugar levels are lower than they should be,
- you crash” or get lethargic, and now your body craves sugars.
- So what next?
- You have to snack again, and the cycle continues
.
By switching to low-glycemic carbs, the energy release is gradual and long lasting which is ideal for athletes, because ….
- you do not tax your pancreas,
- you do not over-produce a storage hormone,
- you feel better and
- you’re in a better position to lose weight
- or more accurately, burn body fat.
.
How Quickly will you see results ?
Even a very simple change like switching the last meal before you run (or go to the gym) to using a low glycemic product like the Herbalife Formula 1 Shake (see below for details) you would notice a real difference.
.
Mistake 2 – Following the wrong diet plan
What you eat, and when you eat, is as important as your exercise
However linked to the above if you don’t change your diet then you won’t get the best results from your sport, running, the gym, etc..
Because your “diet” plan should provide all the balanced nutrition your body needs on a daily basis.
It is important to have a plan where:
- You lose excess weight
- By reducing excess calories
- Without sacrificing important nutrients like protein, potassium and iron.
.
Linked to this you need a plan where your reduce your calorie intake while at the same time boosting your energy levels.
(have you noticed how gyms are always busier at the beginning of the week?)
If you want to get better results -
Focus on 3 key items :
.
1. Switch to low GI index foods…
Even a very simple change like switching the last meal before you run (or go to the gym) to using a low glycemic product like the Herbalife Formula 1 Shake you would notice a real difference.
Because that way you will be cutting back on calories whilst at the same time boosting your energy levels. Leading to weight loss as well as improved energy & stamina
2. Boost your Protein intake
When you play sport your muscles need high quality protein to rebuild & get stronger.
The ideal time to have protein is within about 1 1/2 hours after sport – either by having a meal containing protein or for better results use a protein drink.
3. Use Isotonic Drinks
Because when you are just use water you are missing out on a major opportunity.
When you sweat your body loses ‘electrolytes’ such as sodium, potassium, etc. Replacing these (by using an isotonic drink) will help your body hydrate helping avoid muscle cramps, tiredness and headaches.
