   You don’t need to worry about a post workout meal. That’s a ridiculous fad/meme that has been circulating in recent years and it’s nonsense. You need to eat the same day in and day out with no concern for your exercise unless you are an extreme/elite athlete in which case you may want to fine tune your macronutrients. The next time someone tells you that post workout meals are important, ask them for the science, references, or citations.

   According to the best health minds in the world, the experts at the US NIH, here’s how you should eat.

   The best diet for losing fat is the same as the best diet for building muscle which is the same as the best diet for maintaining health and body weight. In other words, everyone should be eating essentially the same macronutrients, vitamins, minerals, and fiber barring special health or medical considerations because we all have essentially the same physiognomy. Here is the diet approved by the US National Institute of Health…the people your doctor listens to.

   Eat varied, wholesome, and high quality foods such that your daily caloric intake is about equal to your daily caloric burn while keeping your macronutrient ratios at about 55/25/20 (%calories from carbs/fats/protein). Only slight changes should be made in the macronutrient ratios to accommodate the extreme demands of special activities such as athletics or inactivity due to illness.

   Note: Here are the details in case you’re interested. —> http://health.gov/dietaryguidelines/2010.asp
   and here —> http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/nutrition.html

   You get to make the food choices based on culture, available foods, personal preferences, your resources, food allergies, etc. However, the words “varied”, “wholesome”, and “high quality” are important. And, you should consume your food in 4-6 daily meals with healthy snacks between such that you’re nourishing yourself every two hours when awake.

   Tracking your calories is crucial to your maintenance. Tracking your macronutrients is crucial to your health. And, of course, it is implied that you will learn how to read labels, weight portions, do food lookups, enter data, interpret data, etc., if you don’t already know how. It’s all easy stuff and, if you persist, it will eventually become such a routine that you’ll be able to enter data from your cell, know what your daily nutritional requirements are real time by the hour, interpret labels and estimate recipes, plan cheats, and, best of all, not have to rely on the scale to tell you if you’re losing, gaining, or maintaining.

   If you feed yourself properly, your body will be able to handle your stressors just fine. That is a principle purpose of good health maintenance, isn’t it? And, that means no special concerns about insulin spikes or metabolic rates or afterburns or glycogen depletions or any of the rest of that silly nonsense that the young and the clueless seem to fancy while ignoring science and common sense.

   Good luck and good health!!

   hi, I had a diet situation for a long time that it seemed hopeless. I was taking all kinds of stuff. Until a friend recommended this method, I was doubtful at first. I saw a little result after the 1st week, but I was starting to love it. After losing that first bit of weight, which was so uplifting, I worked on developing good diet to keep off the weight. I can’t believe I hadn’t try this sooner. I hope I’ve provided good information: onlinedietsecretportal.tk
