Every day we're exposed to so much confusing advice about fat loss that it most likely feels like your brain is going to burst open... Believe me, I feel your pain!
The know-it-all "gurus" say eat low carbs, while others say eat high carbs. Or you might hear someone say that "calories don't count", while others say "count your calories". Next you'll hear someone say eat high protein, and then another one says that you are eating too much protein and it's bad for you. Have you ever heard someone say eat fat to lose fat? Is that a load of Carp, or what??? Oh my Gosh!!!
All these so-called "experts" argue back and forth, and the funny thing is that they actually believe in the Carp that are putting out there... They almost make it sound completely logical. They'll even fill your head with long lists of scientific evidence and references to back up their claims. So who do you believe?
My workout trainer always told me to eat protein after a workout routine, he was right! That protein gave me a newfound source of strength I never had before, all the while allowing my body to release the fat during my workouts... He said, "Make sure that you eat protein no more than an hour and thirty minutes after my workout was over." You see, at that point after a workout the body's muscles are craving protein.
It's that source of fuel that goes directly to the muscle to stimulate growth, and assist in burning up all that unwanted body fat, while you nourish your soul and provide rich resources to your body, while you feed the very same muscle groups you just exhausted during your workout.
It's a widely know fact that a person should have one gram of protein for each pound of body weight daily. So if you are 150 pounds, you should have at least 150 grams of protein so the muscles are always in a growth stage, and the body fat content and percentages are in a declining stage.
An excellent source of protein can be found in many vegetables such as spinach. I add spinach as a base to many of the meals we have, putting protein based wheat pasta over it, covered with meatballs and organic tomato sauce. I also increase my daily protein intake by making up a whey based shake, adding 20 grams to my counts and for the mid-day snake, I suggest adding in a protein bar, found at all health food and supplement stores. You can expect to add 20-35 grams per bar to your protein counts doing this alone.
