When I decided to lose some weight I started eating what I thought was healthy and cut out alcohol altogether.
I did lose weight considerable quicky and the muscle fell with it.
I ended up with a smaller version of my build but gotten a bit saggy lol.
So I decided to read up on nutrition (ended up here) and released I was only eating around half my daily recommended calories. And substantially lacking protien and was eating virtually no carbs at all.
Some things I've learnt so far are:
Correct me if I'm wrong!
You must eat your recommended calorie intake to sustain your normal weight.
To lose weight eat less or do more cardio to burn more daily calories.
To gain weight eat more.
Eat 1.5-2gms of protien per kg of bodyweight and make up the rest of the calories in carbs and good fats.
That way if your losing weight you won't lose much, if any muscle at all.
And if your gaining weight it will be mostly muscle your gaining.
All foods must be natural as in, grown and served in it's natural state.
Eg. Fish,chicken,steak,veggies,fruit,nuts and so on.
If you stick to eating good food like this and the calories you require, you'll have more energy, most probably train harder, recover quicker, have a general good feeling of well being as you'll be as healthy as can be.
Does that pretty much cover it?
It's pretty simple really ay. if ya take a step out of your busy life and spend some more time on yourself, you can reap great rewards.
