Amino Acids Proteins are made up of 22 amino acids which have to be present in certain combinations for the protein to function properly. If protein is to build and repair, it must have the right amino acids in proper quantities. Without the right amino acids in the correct proportions, almost every physical process in your body will grind to a halt. In some cases, the amino acids need to combine with certain vitamins and minerals and if these are lacking, that particular body process will be impaired. Also a lack of amino acids to provide the right protein structure will make your body burn muscle for energy and store fat. If you find that you are eating and exercising a great deal and making no apparent progress your problem may lie here. This is why we strongly recommend a Whey Protein Supplement to use in conjunction with the program. Without such a supplement your results will be limited. You can order a Whey Protein Supplement from our carefully selected range here. All these protein supplements contain essential amino acids. ORDER TODAY CARBOHYDRATES Continued. Carbohydrates supply energy. They are broken down to produce glucose (blood sugar) and stored in the muscle and liver as glycogen. Simple and Complex Carbs Carbohydrates are divided into two main categories: simple carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates. Basically, the simple carbs provide quick energy and the complex carbs sustained energy. This type of Carbohydrate is generally found in processed foods like breads, pasta, pizza, bagels, candies and all snack foods. Note: A predominance of simple carbohydrates in your diet will cause sharp fluctuations in blood glucose levels - and when that level suddenly drops - your energy levels take a
dramatic dive. Recovery time after a workout will be longer and you will feel edgy and worn out. To make it simple avoid simple carbohydrates. Simple carbs add body fat!! |
