Nutrition

 

Nutrition is important no matter what your goals are, your dietary intake plays a major role.

 

Nutritional advice is available to compliment training programmes to allow a combination of exercise and healthy eating to aid to you to get the results you want with no wasted effort.

 

Different individuals who have different goals all require different nutritional intake, with different types and amounts of macronutrients required during different periods.

 

Want to loose weight but not sure how to manage your diet?

Your diet is an important part, along with regular exercise, to decrease your percentage body fat. Research has shown that implementing low G.I. carbohydrates into your diet allows you to feel fuller for longer between meals and increases your sporting performance as glucose is released at a slower rate.

 

Want to increase your muscle tone or muscle mass?

Increasing muscular size can be very difficult without the correct diet as the body requires enough carbohydrates for training and sufficient protein for repairing and building muscle tissue. Your body may use protein as a fuel source, breaking down muscle tissue, without a sufficient diet to supplement training.

 

Want to increase your sporting performance?

Increasing your cardiovascular fitness demands intense training at times, where again sufficient nutritional intake is required. Research has shown that low G.I. foods taken prior to training can increase endurance performance and high G.I. foods after training can replace your blood sugar levels quickly after or during activities to increase performance.

 

bodyfit will help you maximise your nutritional goals as getting the most from your diet is essential and is the part many people may struggle with.
