The Key to Fitness Success: Why Nutrition Matters
If you’re working out, but not seeing results, the issue might be your diet. Nutrition plays a critical role in performance, recovery and transformation. No matter how hard you train, progress is limited without the right fuel.
The 80/20 Rule
Many experts believe 80% of results come from nutrition and 20% from exercise. Workouts stimulate muscle growth and fat burning, but proper nutrients are essential for recovery and muscle building.
Food as Fuel
Your body performs best with quality nutrition:
Pre-Workout: Eat complex carbs and protein (e.g., oatmeal with protein powder, banana with peanut butter) for energy at least an hour before.
Post-Workout: Consume lean protein and healthy carbs (e.g., chicken with roasted broccoli and quinoa) to aid recovery.
Building Muscle & Losing Fat
To build muscle, prioritize protein-rich foods like lean meats (fish, chicken, beef), tofu, eggs or egg whitesand legumes. For fat loss, maintain a calorie deficit while avoiding processed foods and sugars.
Hydration & Recovery
Water is vital for performance, digestion and nutrient transport. Dehydration leads to fatigue and decreased strength—stay hydrated!
