Are you Sabotaging your Training Efforts by Neglecting Basic Nutrition? by Barry Boswell

If you regularly train using cardiovascular workouts and a weight resistance

routine while taking nutritional supplements but are not paying attention to

basic nutrition than you are essentially throwing away a good portion of the

benefits you are gaining from your workouts.

Basic nutrition is absolutely essential to making the most of your sports training.

Food calories supply energy and nutrients to the body during exercise.

Without proper basic nutrition you loss energy more quickly resulting in a

less intense workout. While simple sugars are used up almost immediately,

complex sugars or complex carbohydrates provide prolonged energy to the

muscles during exercise. Protein is composed of amino acids which support

growing muscles. In fact, basic nutritional deficits can cause you to lose hard

earned muscle to muscle tissue breakdown or catabolism.

According to Joel Marion, prior Body for Life 2001 Grand Champion, not

only are the foods you eat important but proper timing in relation to workouts

plays a vital role in maximizing your performance, optimizing fat loss, and

minimizing muscle loss. The intensity of your workout is directly related to the

amount of calories and fat you burn. You can not be at full intensity if you are

suffering from lack of proper nutrition.

In addition, intense exercise can increase muscle loss in people who are not

meeting their caloric needs.(1)
