Before a workout it is best to eat something loaded with quick carbs but also complex carbs. For pre workout a banana is excellent because it provides carbohydrates and potassium which helps reduce cramping. Any type of fruit or yogurt is good for a pre workout meal.

Dealing with After workout you need to try to eat something with carbs but also a good amount of protein. Protein helps repair your muscles. A good after workout meal is a protein shake designed to build lean muscle.

Talk to someone in a vitamin store such as Vitamin World and they will be able to help you further!

few hours before and few hours after. Remember, if you eat alot before a workout, you use the fat in the food you just ate, not your body fat. And after a workout rest for hour or two before a big meal. But if you wanna build muscle, then you can take protein right before and after workout.

You should eat it protein THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE DAY in order to gain muscle or if you wanna loose weight, generally it is better to have a high protein diet if you are doing any king of sport.

here are some tips if you wanna loose weight.

First of all you NEED to EXERCISE and DIET

You need to put your body in a calorie deficit.

Calorie deficit is most easily achived by the combination of training/exercise and the right diet plan.

The EXERCISE can be ANYTHING: it can be weight lifting, low intensity cardio, high intensity (interval) training, you name it, the point is that it has to make you really sweat, the fire of your metabolic system has to burn intensely, because that is how you (quite literally) burn stored energy in your fat-cells.

By using up more calories than you intake your body is forced to use up the energy resources stored away in your fat cells.

The DIET has to be healthy and easy to maintain over a longer period of time like example 60-90 days. You can achieve great goals in just that time. You need to eat complex carbs like: white rice, sweet potatoes, bulgur. You need to eat lean meats like: chicken, turkey, lean pork, lean beef, fish. Seperate it for 4 meals a day only eat as much that banishes the hunger and you are good to go.

Now, if you are EATING HEALTHY and EXERCISING REGULARLY, you gain HUGE BENEFITS from the right supplements. Some of them can really kick start your weight loss, give you energy when you are lacking it, keep your body healthy and in homeostasis when you most need it.

I have a wonderfull Weight-Loss Juice LINKED in my BIO.

It really did give me and a couple of my close friends the edge we needed. I helped them train and diet adequately, and this supplement just ELEVATED our results tot he next level.

You can contact me for other recommendations as well, and I can share my personal 90-day weight loss meal plan that you can easily tweak to your personal needs.
