All the work you put in at the gym you would expect big improvements? The truth is all of that hard work needs to be supported by your eating (and drinking) habits.
There was a wide spread myth in the 80’s that if you trained hard, you could eat what you wanted to? You could burn it off? This was proven to be false and only limited your recovery, kept you stiff for longer after workouts and the results you expected never materialised.
Lots of people thought if you trained hard all week, you could drink whatever you wanted to on the weekend and often all weekend?
This was false too, as Mondays turned out to be washouts and most big drinkers I knew would only feel themselves by thursday backing up the true science that alcohol takes 4 days to fully leave your system, and that washout feeling was down to the fact that we now know that alcohol is proven to be a poison to our bodies, every scientific study back this up.
When we eat poorly before and after exercising hard too, we find our body splutters and doesn’t seem to work properly, heartburn, headaches etc become a normal part of daily life but we STILL don’t link the junk food/alcohol to the way we feel?!!!!
It’s really not a mystery is it?
If you are at all interested in feeling good, performing to the best of your ability and really making the most of your workouts, then realise what you consume away from the gym is ALL important.
