Pre-Workout Nutrition

How to Maximize (or Jeopardize) Your chance
to Burn Fat and Improve

(The truth is the opposite of what you were told)

I’d like to put the record straight regarding pre-workout nutrition. This is a tricky topic that requires a short biological and science overview, so bear with me.

Growing body of research indicates that nature selects underfed species for extended life-span and vice versa – it shortens the life expectancy of overfed species. Humans are no exception.

The human body evolved to thrive under nutritional stress.

It is hard to accept the harsh reality of this phenomenon, when so many people are overfed (and overweight) and everything around seems so routinely normal. Regardless, you need to be aware of the life-extending benefits of underfeeding and fasting vs. the life-shortening risk associated with overfeeding and lack of fasting. But there is more to that.

Recent research at the University of Southern California reveals that extreme intermittent fasting induces even stronger rejuvenating effects on cells and tissues than those coming from mild fasting or underfeeding; apparently due to one factor – Read More: Pre-Workout Nutrition

Intermittent fasting/Options

Intermittent fasting (from morning to evening not including post exercise recovery meal) can be done in three ways: fasting, undereating or pulse feeding

• Fasting – If you choose to fast you can do water fating or vegetable juice fasting (have one up to a few vegetable juices daily).
• Undereating – If you choose to undereat rather than fast, minimize your food intake during the day to small servings of light, low glycemic mostly raw foods such as fruits, vegetables, whey protein or lightly poached eggs every 4-6 hours.
• Pulse feeding fibers – Pulse feeding involves frequent use of small whey protein meals with no sugar added every 3-5 hours throughout the day. This regimen is geared towards athletes; we’ll cover it in more detail soon.

As a general rule, have recovery meal (whey protein) after your workout and eat your main meal at night. Intermittent fasting has been recognized as a proven effective strategy to help negate physical and cognitive aging. Adding exercise to this routine will “seal the deal” and shoot the anti-aging impact of this regimen to another level.

Creatine: The Dark Truth Behind the Muscle-Building Hype

Creatine: The Dark Truth Behind the Muscle-Building Hype

Creatine has two defaults:

1) It inhibits your own creatine production.

2) It inhibits the enzyme AMPK along with your capacity to burn fat.

Like carb loading creatine loading supports short-term performance but in the long run it may cause more damage than benefits.
