RE: Un camino de transformaciones...

in #writing2 days ago

Oh yes, it's a complex topic because there are many variables to consider. Nutrition, training, and rest depend a lot on your goals. I don't think I could be a bodybuilder because it seems like a very rigorous path. I think I'd lose the fun if I had to weigh my food😅 . Or maybe I'd stray too far from my philosophy of taking everything slowly and smoothly.

By the way, you just gave me some really good information, like consuming protein right after training. I think the easiest way would be with shakes, which is also what my nutritionist recommended. And the app to log everything is very interesting, although I think that would drive me crazy, lol.🙈😅

I've seen this a lot about diet being the biggest factor. It's pointless to spend hours training if, for example, we consume many more calories than we need; the belly will never go away. There's also the issue that abs are made in the kitchen, and I think it's very true and not given the importance it deserves. It occurs to me, why haven't you talked about this on your blog? I love this topic. I'm not a big fan of following everything to the letter, but I do think it helps me a lot to know it to make good decisions when it comes to buying food and things like that.

Thanks for the recommendations. I've been working on this for a while, but it's always good to receive reinforcement to know that I'm doing well.🙂

Ha ha! I went through a phase of weighing my food and I can't recall it making any difference! It just made me feel stupid and ask myself "Why am I weighing my food?"

Speaking of the belly, your comment reminded me of another important factor - stress. There's been research that suggests that stress is a cause of flabber around the waist. Even if people had a healthy diet, if they were stressed, it was visible in their waistline!

I'm certainly no expert! My knowledge is well over 10 years old and is probably terribly out of date now!

I had a carpenter in the house last week and he suggested an App called "Yuka" to me. I don't know if it's available outside the UK but it's amazing! You simply scan the barcode and it tells you how many cancerous additives are in whatever you've scanned. It then goes one step better and recommends a healthier alternative! And all for FREE! It's amazing. And a bit scary too. One brand of gravy (for example) scores 0/100 whereas a supermarket own brand will score 60+. I hope it's available where you are and you'll see what I mean!

Thanks for the recommendations. I've been working on this for a while, but it's always good to receive reinforcement to know that I'm doing well.🙂

You're welcome and I'm sure you'll achieve your goal 🏅
