We often hear that after a workout, you should not eat, otherwise you will not get any results. In fact, it is not quite so. This is just one more myth. Actually, it is necessary to eat after a workout, but you have to know what to eat and how much to eat.
First of all, let’s talk why we have to eat after a workout. Remember that workouts do not aim to completely dry up your power. So it is not intelligent to prohibit eat after that. Besides, all proteins and carbohydrates that you will eat in 20 minutes after a workout will be used to recover and increase muscle mass and they will not feed your fat cells. However, it is important to know what food is better to eat.
In the first 15 minutes, you should drink carbohydrate drink that is has a high glycemic index. Within two hours, you should eat a meal that has high GI. After two hours, eat meals that have low GI and that have many proteins.
If you want to have good results, take care of your nutrition. Correct diet can bring incredible results.
