You give your best at training but if you don’t have a proper diet chances are you won’t see the results you deserve. However, when I say “diet” I don’t mean counting calories and under eating. I’m referring to choosing whole foods that are naturally rich in nutrients.
Today I’m having grilled garlic prawns with a kale, cabbage, carrot, beet, and broccoli slaw, yogurt dressing sprinkled with sesame and pumpkin seeds. This meal is low in calories, fitting in anyone’s weigh-loss budget (under 300 calories, 1260 kJ). Besides, the colorful vegetables are rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients (all the good stuff your body needs to function well) and fiber-packed (which helps with keeping you satisfied for longer). The prawns provide the much needed protein to avoid muscle wasting and help muscle recovery, especially after a hard core training session. And the best of all is that it took me less than 15 minutes to prepare it! So there are no excuses here.
