Exercising is the best way to help you lose weight. By exercising, you can burn more calories than calories that enter the body from food. But the effort to have the ideal body weight will be forfeited if you still eat carelessly, especially the portion is too much. Check out this article to find out how to prevent a lot of eating before and after exercise.
The ideal body key is calories that come out more than calories in
In principle, weight can go down if you burn more calories than you get calories. This is why you must control your food intake during the diet.
But it cannot be denied that resisting the temptation to eat is quite difficult. Moreover, most good foods are usually also high in calories.
The food you eat for less than 5 minutes can have the same calories as you do exercise for one hour. So, don't waste the effort you have done by consuming high-calorie foods. Because the calories you burn when you exercise will be replaced with more calories from food.
Tips for eating before and after exercise so as not to overdo it
The following are ways you can control your intake of food before and after exercise so you don't overdo it:
1. Eat small portions before morning exercise
Yes, eating before morning exercise is important, especially since your stomach has not received food since last night. Small meals (not counted as breakfast) can give you a little energy before you exercise. However, don't take too much food. Just one sheet of bread or three pieces of biscuits is enough to give you energy before exercising. And, don't forget to drink.
2. Breakfast after morning exercise
After morning exercise, make sure you have breakfast with a diet that contains carbohydrates (especially complex carbohydrates) and protein. Like, whole wheat bread with eggs or low-fat milk with oatmeal. But still remember, pay attention to portions, not too much.
Carbohydrates can replace the energy you have used during exercise. Meanwhile, protein can help repair damaged muscle tissue after exercise, so recovery after exercise can take place quickly.
3. Lunch or eat 1-2 hours before afternoon exercise
During the day (a few hours before you exercise), you should eat again with complete nutrition. This is useful for giving enough calories for your afternoon exercise. Make sure your plate consists of foods that contain carbohydrates, protein, vegetables, and fruits.
You can get carbohydrates from brown rice, whole wheat pasta, or whole wheat bread. You can get protein from fish, meat, chicken and eggs. Even better if you cook these ingredients by roasting, boiling or steaming, not fried. This is done to avoid excessive saturated fat intake.
Well, before you do afternoon exercise, you should eat again 15-30 minutes beforehand. But, enough to eat fruit, such as bananas or apples, and drink water. This can give you a good initial energy for exercise.
4. After afternoon exercise
Drink water after exercise to relieve your thirst. After that, you can drink low-fat milk or eat yogurt with fruit as your dinner. In fact, this alone is enough to fill your hungry stomach after exercising in the afternoon.
The key is not to skip breakfast and lunch. If you miss the second time, you will tend to eat more after afternoon exercise. And, this is what can make you even gain weight.
