Wait An Hour After Working Out To Eat!!

Most of us want to eat the first thing we can get our hands on after working out, when in actuality we should wait an hour before eating. After a workout, our energy stores are depleted, and the muscles are like sponges waiting to soak up carbohydrates and proteins. At the same time though, this energy depletion, combined with the fact that our metabolic rate is speeding, is forcing our bodies to rely on FAT as FUEL. So we're really burning more fat standing around talking after training than in the first 15-20 minutes of exercise. To maximize the residual FAT-BURNING effects, wait an hour after training before you eat. This process forces the body to continue to rely on fat stores for fuel!!!
When you do eat it should be a pretty good source of clean high protein, moderate carbohydrate and definitely low-fat!! A good High Quality Meal Replacement shake could be taken too!

NOTE: Working out first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, increases lipolysis (fat-burning)
significantly. Ride the "wave" of fat-burning and wait an hour before eating breakfast.
