Before and after workout in FIT6
Although you can achieve your goal without physical effort in the FIT6 Programme, we are big supporters of exercises. We recommend getting into the habit of regular exercise not only to lose weight, but also to promote good health.
Physical exercise during weight loss:
- reduces fat tissue, which results in reduction of body volume;
- accelerates metabolism;
- increases the likelihood of the long-term maintenance of effects;
- increases muscle tissue;
- prevents the problem of sagging skin after slimming.
In order to get the most benefits out of your physical activity, you need to keep in mind the meals that precede the training and follow it. Failure to do so means wasting the achieved exercise results or will cause a lot of effort with poor results.
Therefore, we recommend the following nutrition:
- before the workout (about 1 hour): 1 portion of carbohydrates (oatmeal/fresh fruit/dried fruit/seeds/take away from your daily portion) + 1 source of protein (meat/fish/eggs/animal-related products)
- after the workout (up to 30 minutes): 1 source of protein (meat/fish/eggs/animal-related products)
Why are these meals in this form?
Carbohydrates give us energy to exercise. Exercise, if you don’t have an available source of energy, may result in a slower metabolism. And in this case, after all, this is something completely different. Protein protects against the degradation of muscle tissue and serves as a growth stimulant to maintain this tissue.
