Question

What should I eat after I workout?

Response

After a workout, your first priority should be replenshing your fluids by drinking water, fruit juice or a sports drink or eating watery fruit. Within 1-4 hours after a workout, you should consume a meal that is high in carbohydrates complimented with a balance of protein and fat. A more scientific approach would be to consume .5 grams of carbohydrates for every pound of body weight within 2 hours of your workout and repeat this 2 hours later.

After

14.5 pounds lost, 17.25 inches lost and 7.3% body fat is away.

I guess in a nut-shell I would say this program is FREEDOM in letting someone else steer the boat! Now I can get on with LIVING because I know I WILL SEE RESULTS, so I can rest and enjoy the ride.
