Eat your fill!
Our food fulfils various functions: It covers the energy requirements for movement and all repair processes in our body, it should supply us with vitamins, minerals and trace elements so that all internal processes in the body (as well as our immune system) run smoothly and it should be good for the soul, i.e. taste good. Especially the second and the last point can contradict each other. And if it tastes too good for us, an oversupply often occurs. We gain weight. So how do we proceed?
Variety, mediocrity and jokers are our tips.
As with movement, it is all about routines that you can now learn anew. We would like to give you a few tips on how to plan your diet around training.
Breakfast
Before you join our Good Morning Show, have a drink. About a quarter to a pint. After your bodies have been mobilized and activated in the Good Morning Show, you can devote yourself to breakfast. The basic rule is always - you should eat what you feel is good for you, because eating can and should bring joy. We recommend that you take in enough protein at breakfast. Drink enough even during the day. By the evening it should be around two litres. For every hour of exercise you drink three quarters to a whole litre more.
Lunch
After the Active Lunch, lunch calls for you to regain your energy. A good source of carbohydrates comes in the form of pasta or rice, potatoes and vegetables, paired with protein and qualitative fats such as oils and nuts. Drink again over the afternoon. The afternoon low is worse if you are dehydrated and: Hunger is often confused with thirst.
Snack
But those who are still hungry up to the evening and are used to have a coffee break should definitely treat themselves to a little snack. Ideally consisting of a source of fruit and protein that will satisfy you but not stuff you.
Dinner
The evening program is followed by dinner. Here it is advisable to put the body into recovery mode as quickly as possible. A well-balanced dinner helps to do this. Our tip: Keep the (cooked) vegetable content high again, don't forget the protein and eat your usual side dish.
To sum up, it is important to develop a rhythm and a habit in your diet. Our training programme can provide you with the framework for a meal routine.
In the next articles we will deal more with what concretely can and should be eaten and why we are not a friend of diets.
