Have Proper Nutrition: Switching to a healthier lifestyle requires proper nutrition 100% of the time.Yes, I know, its not easy but its not impossible though.Proper nutrition is very important.Since you are now spending more energy than the average person, you must consume more calories nutrients than the average person as well.Take a multivitamin everyday to ensure you have the necessary nutrients to train effectively, preferably one which contains higher levels of B-vitamins Instead of 3 large meals a day, consume 5-6 evenly distributed medium sized portions.Also, make sure you eat clean, no junk food or soda.Consume a little more than 1 gram of protein per lb of bodyweight. Many people will say 1.5-2 grams of protein per lb, but I dont think that much protein is necessary. Amino acids unlike carbohydrates cannot be stored by the body for an extended amount of time.If not needed immediately by the body, any excess protein consumed will be turned into glucose, which eventually gets stored as a fat if not used. A good time to drink your protein shakes would be before and after your workouts and right when you wake up in the morning.Also, drinking milk before bed helps prevent catabolism when you are asleep so drink up.Remember, if you want to gain weight, you must consume more calories than you spend.If you want to lose weight, consume fewer calories than you spend. Last tip eat more fiber to help you stay regular, especially since you are consuming so much protein.
