Best Diet Programme

It is strongly advised that the following recommendations be adhered to achieve maximum benefits from your diet program. Remember a little discipline will go a long way in achieving your fitness goals.
Never skip breakfast. After sleeping, your body’s metabolism is low. Having a wholesome breakfast (within 30-40 mins of waking up) will boost it.

Never go hungry. Eating small meals or snacks throughout the day prevents hunger and boost metabolism.

Never overeat at any meal. It is better to eat 6-8 smaller size portions in a day than 3-4 large ones. This prevents sleepiness and keeps you energized throughout the day.

Never have a large meal within 2 hours before training. If you are hungry, have a healthy snack.

Always eat within 2 hour after every training. Your muscles start repairing and building in this time. Get a balance of protein and complex carbs.

Drink At Least 10-12 Cups Of Water Each Day. If You Can, Drink More. This is a small point but you should be drinking a lot of water. Don't drink so that you're bloated though. Water helps flush out wastes and toxins inside your body. It also helps in metabolic functions and chemical reactions that require water. Water is also especially important if you are on supplements like creatine. To know if you're getting enough water see if your urine is clear. If it's very yellow you need more water.

Eating Before Bedtime. Eating before bedtime is important. Think about it; you're going 8 hours without protein and carbs. This sets you up for muscle breakdown (catabolism). So to avoid this, drink 2 cups of milk or have some cottage cheese. The slow absorbing protein will last you most of the night and the carbs in milk are slow absorbing so they will also last you through the night.
