Listen to Glik0 He knows what hes talking about.
White bread and white pasta are bad news. The way I understand it is that they are empty carbs and essentially they are processed by your body into sugar in the end.
Try to eat fods that have hogh protean and low calories and fat like salmon other fish, coloured vegetables like bok choy, beans, spinach and fruit.
Fruit has alot of sugar but generally it isnt the worst kind for you to eat.
I think eating many small meals and healthy snaks throughout the day is better for you than eating a heavy breakfast or other meals. It levels out your glucose levels so that you wont feel that 4pm craving for a chocolate bar or other junk food. Plus it keeps your metabolism at work.
Personally I got to the gym 3 or 4 times a week in the mornings for about an hour and a half. Usually run about 2 or 3 miles and do light and mid weight training for the rest.
A while ago I cut out about 90% of the white bread and pasta that I was eating and I can tell a huge difference. Also things to watch out for are fruit juice and milk. Its better to drink just water. Most fruit juice has a ton of sugar in it.
Also as everyone else said stay away from any type of soda or fried food.
Make a point of looking at the number of calories and the portion size of what wou are eating. Usually people take portions that are wayyyyy too big. Im not saying to calculate that shit but... just be aware of a rough estimate of how many calories you are taking in each day.
Heres my question....recently I feel like I have reached a plateau as far as working out. Im not trying to loose more weight or get way too muscleish.....I would like to work on better definition without bulking up too much. Anyone know what the best way to do this is? I have started increasing my cadio time but it hasnt been long enough for me to tell if it is helping.
