There is so much information about food and eating healthy these days it is hard to know where to start. It seems like every day there is something new in the media informing us about something we should eat more or less of to get in good shape. And to make it more confusing there will be another report at the same time with an opposing opinion with scientific evidence to support it. It is no wonder people find it so hard to achieve great health and fitness results when there is just so much conflicting information. The one nutrition method to attract a lot of attention in recent times is the Keto diet. Unlike many other nutrition approaches this is not aimed specifically at weight loss, but at improving overall health and reducing inflammation in your body. This article we asked one of our trainers who has been successfully using this method for the past few months to explain how her body feels since she began experimenting with this eating method and the little tips and tricks she found along the way to make the transition easy to implement. Enjoy.
Is Exercising On An Empty Stomach Great For Your Health?
Many people believe that exercising on an empty stomach is one of the best ways to speed up their fat loss as the body will have to use fat for fuel as the body is deprived of glucose to fuel their workout. With the rising popularity of using intermittent fasting as a dietary method this belief has increased even more in recent years as many people adopt fasting before working out. While there does appear to be some benefits to doing this it is not without some drawbacks that could counteract any benefits it may provide. Once again there is no definitive answer to this question as it really depends on several factors unique to each person. In this article, I will look at the pros and cons of using this eating strategy so you can determine if it is best for you.
Before You Try Intermittent Fasting Make Sure You Read This First!
Intermittent Fasting is currently one of the world’s most popular trends in the health and fitness industry, and it can provide some astounding results. As much as it is important to focus on “what you eat”, this is an example of getting “when you eat” right for your body. If you are using this with the intention of improving your overall health and vitality by simplifying your nutrition and lifestyle you will see great results. However, if you see this eating method as a quick way lose weight you will be bitterly disappointed and over the long term create more problems. We asked our trainer Mel to write this article as she has been using Intermittent Fasting since April 2019 and has seen great results with her energy and vitality. I like to think of this not as a diet, or a way to reduce calories, but as a more structured eating pattern that gives me more control over my nutritional requirements for optimal energy and health. In this article I am going to share with the critical things you MUST know if you want to make this eating method a success and the secrets to being able to sustain this for good.
