Monday is a recurring theme in terms of the need to get off to a good start in your week, especially on here when we always like to discover what it takes to be in your best shape.
The need for a big workout is obvious.
What we don’t always talk about are those snacks or meals that can give you a bundle of energy that will power you through a workout.
That time of day when you may need it the most is around the 4 o’clock time when you may have just finished work, you are rushing around everywhere, and the last thing you need is going into your workout with zero carbs inside you.
For instance, don’t worry about eating a second bowl of porridge at this time too, even if you have had one for breakfast earlier in the day.
Porridge is the ultimate slow release energy provider, giving you real energy just when you need it.
If you don’t get enough energy in at this time, not only will you have a poor workout, but you are very likely to overeat in your evening meal, because just think of the time you have left it without a meal. Lunch at say 1pm, then an evening meal at 730pm is far too much of a gap!
4PM has become a crucial time for many people I have found in your 7 day eating diaries, so start filling in the gaps and you will perform far better, and lose more body fat in the meantime!
