Food Counts
No matter what you’re trying to do, lose weight, gain muscle, tone up, you should really know by now that what you eat really does count. There’s foods out there that can really change the whole of your progress. If you’re trying to bodybuild, counting your macros and micros is a huge part of what you do, or at least it should be. Macros stand for macronutrients, and they should be what you’re consuming on a higher level. Micros are micronutrients, and you should be aiming to eat less of them. If you’re going through a cutting stage, you want to be trying to balance your macros with your carbs in order to make a difference. If not, you’re only going to be putting on weight rather than losing it. More tips by aretheyonsteroids can help you to understand what the perfect balance is. If you’re trying to lose weight, you won’t really be focusing on this so much. What you do need to do is make sure you’re cutting out all the rubbish. We’re all partial to a little treat day now and then, but if you’re not making any real progress for a while this should be the first thing that you cut out. You need to be on a strict clean diet for as long as possible if you want to try and lose the pounds again.
Fitness Matters
You can train as much as you want, but if you aren’t doing it properly you aren’t going to make any difference, especially if you’ve reached your peak point. When you’re at the gym or wherever you train, you need to make sure you’re putting maximum effort into every workout. Not a lot of you can say that you do that. How many times a week you train also makes a huge difference. There is such a thing as overtraining, and this can just as easily halt your progress. Without giving your muscles time to properly heal, you’re not going to be making the gains you want to. Overtraining even if you’re trying to lose weight can also become unhealthy. It might not halt your progress, but it definitely does impact your muscles and the fatigue on your body. Eventually this will catch up to you and you will begin to lose your motivation. Pace yourself, and make sure you’re putting 100% effort into the training you do do.
