If you are following a nutrition plan that includes eating solid food every 2-3 hours and find yourself STARVING between meals - it does NOT mean you need more food, it actually means your plan is working! When you feel like you are going to naw your arm off and you still have an hour til your next meal -your metabolism is RACING and you are burning fat!! Just picture little Pac-Man Guys CHOMPING the FAT off of your A** and be EXCITED for the change in your physique to come!!!  |
Something mentioned here that is very important, SOLID FOOD. Very often those who workout supplement with protein drinks and smoothies etc. which is fine and sometimes the best way to get high enough protein intake for muscle building workouts BUT the body is designed to digest whole foods, the process of digestion in itself raises your metabolic rate. You should always try to get your nutrients from whole foods and keep protein drinks and the such for supplimentation.
