If you have been paying attention, you would have noticed
that I’ve been hammering away about food for the past few weeks! Well today is
no exception and I have a very good reason for this, food is important! Whatever
your goal is ; weight loss, optimum health or building a muscular body, what
you eat, how much you eat and when you eat it can make or break your program.
Today I would like to talk about when to eat certain foods. Ordinarily the
items on my list are very healthy and powerful foods that give you strength and
help you grow and lose weight, but when eaten close to bed time they can become
a hindrance to optimum health and fitness.
So if you want to avoid these nutritional pitfalls then read
on, if you want to promote fat burning and lean muscle growth then you need to
read on and stop the late night blunders that have been impeding your progress.
Thanks, and do have a great weekend!
MILK:
I know, I know! How in the world can milk be harmful, right?
Well in certain circumstances milk should be avoided, and late night is one of
them. While milk is a relatively healthy source of protein and calcium, the
issue with milk is the lactose content which can give you digestive issues at
night, and if you are lactose intolerant you should totally avoid it as
bloating and gas will make your night very uncomfortable. Second, milk is high
in lactose which is still sugar, and you should not be downing sugar just
before sleep if you hope to lose fat or build muscle.
