Tips from a fitness pro - Tip No. 2: Nutrition
I am still in northern Europe and the weather has reached its coldest in decades. It was -39 degrees celsius yesterday!!
I haven't had any chance to exercise since I left vancouver and won't have any chance until I get back home either. My body is so exhausted and I couldn't watch what I eat well either. Well I need to make up for it once I am back. I miss working out so much!!
Ok, as I promised earlier, here is the next tip from Raphael:
2. Nutrition -- Nothing is as important as the fuel you put in your body. You'll need to control blood sugar levels to lose body fat and this is best accomplished by consuming four to six small meals per day. Don't mistake the definition of a meal for a six-course extravaganza.
A meal could be an egg-white omelet with fruit on the side; oatmeal mixed with some blueberries; a large salad with chicken and a little of your favorite dressing; an apple with a scoop of protein powder or cottage cheese with some fruit.
I'm referring to them as meals but they're actually small feedings. Each of the meals is comprised of protein, some carbohydrate and a bit of fat. In some cases, the fat is built into the protein. In other cases, it's added to the meal.
