Proper nutrition and exercising go hand-in-hand. If people are exercising properly according to their fitness goals, but eating too many fatty and sugary foods, they are completely wasting their time. When it comes down to losing weight and/or building muscle, nutrition is the absolute foundation. When implementing a healthy diet into a fitness program, people must follow a relatively strict guideline. The guideline should look something like this: 4-6 small meals/day, proper nutrient timing around workouts (small amount of carbohydrates before the exercise, some protein and healthy carbohydrates within hour after workout), and a diet consisting of 40% protein, 35% carbohydrates, and 25% fats.
Be sure not to skip meals. Food is energy for your body and when you stay properly fueled, your body's metabolism will continually break down the body's fat. Water is also a vital part to your daily nutrition needs. Eliminate sweetened teas, soda, and liquids that contain high amounts of sugar.
Incorporate a proper fitness routine and a healthy diet and you will live a much healthier and happy life.
