What can feel more exciting than stepping on your
bathroom scale and seeing those numbers drop when you are determined to lose
weight? Despite being overjoyed that your new dieting efforts are paying
off, you still might not be satisfied when you stand naked in front of a
full-length mirror. Nonetheless, you are intent on reshaping your body and
ready to begin an exercise program.
Before you begin your workout, there is a way to
speed up your body's fat burning ability and get better results from your
exercise. Therefore, you need to fuel your body right first before you
start.
Two hours before you hit the gym or do whatever
exercise routine you have in mind, you should avoid eating high-glycemic foods
like potatoes, white rice, pasta, white breads, and wheat cereals, etc. because
they will increase your insulin levels and impede your workout progress.
After all, insulin is what controls how your body burns fat.
Instead, you should eat a low-glycemic, fructose-free meal two hours earlier for
more bang from that routine.
You might want to try such low-glycemic foods
such as whole grain cereals and bread, lean proteins, nuts, and
beans. Change out that instant oatmeal for old-fashioned cooked oats
or quick oats and steer more toward fewer processed cereals or ones that contain
about four grams of fiber and barley or bran when it comes to breakfast.
These are just some foods to consider, but a good place to start.
This little adjustment to your dieting plan will help you
get firmer to sculpt your body the way you like it.
