So What Should I Eat?

I am definitely still sticking with my New Year’s resolutions here at Smooth Sailing, and I hope that you are doing the same thing.  So that means that I have been hitting the gym and left behind those fast food places for good.  One of the most important things for you to consider when on an exercise program or routine is your nutrition.  You do not want all of your hard work to go to waste just because you are not eating appropriately.  And not only will bad nutrition keep you from reaching those body goals, it might also affect how you are working out.

When you work out your body needs certain nutrients to sustain the activity, whether it is cardiovascular or strength training.  There are combinations of proteins and carbohydrates that you should consider eating a certain amount of time prior to and after a workout.  Once you start consuming a diet that correlates with how and when you are training, you will likely see positive improvements, like:  increased endurance and stamina, quicker recovery, and faster results.  If that sounds like just what you need, then it is all in the food.
