RE: First Day Back at the Gym
Hahaha, that was funny. I was unclear: I mean no added sugar. Fruit has natural sugar, so that is fine. But all kinds of sweet drinks, and products with sugar (or some other form of it, watch out, they are sneaky!!!) are off-limits.
I try to maintain a high fat, medium protein, low carbohydrate diet. This forces my body to burn fat as a fuel source, which is more efficient long term.
Most people do a high carb, medium protein, low fat diet. I think this is unhealthy longterm. Check this out - changed my life:
And, I just wanted to raise your awareness, that you can also do cardio without running. I am just not a big fan of running. I just do more reps with a lower weight, faster and more consistent pace.
But I am sure, you are not exactly the same as me, so just experiment a bit ;)
Lmao, I've seen Rogan's videos! I already do not consume added sugars. I don't drink soda, I hate candy, and I can't eat the gluten so I don't bother with baked goods.
Thank you for the informative response! Ugh, I HATE running! I hate it. It's just the easiest way to get my heart rate up. lol My favorite form of cardio is climbing, but there's no climbing wall at the gym we signed up for. Maybe I'll find an indoor climbing gym around here somewhere.
Anywho, more reps, lower weight. Got it! I'll keep steeming my progress to document it.
We are on the same wave length. Steemit does it once again - social media better than anything else. Here I can actually pay you for the value you provide by sharing your experience.
Steem on ;)
