Eat for Life

During a hard workout session you use a large amount of energy in the body. You burn carbs, calories, fat and protein all while you sweat away the pounds. You must remember to eat something directly after your workout so your body can recover from a hard worked shift and the sweat factory. Get a good mix of protein and simple carbs to help with recovery and promote muscle growth. And ladies when I say muscle growth I don't mean big bulging biceps, I'm referring to the tiny fibers that make up the muscle.

Try to eat within an hour of finishing your workout. My favourite post workout meal is organic peanut butter and banana on whole grain bread with chocolate milk.
