Tips for gym rats and dieters

After I wrote the post on my 4 day cycle fitness program, Mrs Flyfisher wrote in a comment. As some of you may be aware, Flyfisher is my good friend and regular guest blogger.

The following are her suggestions :)

cardio

Hi this is Mrs. Flyfisher, there are some minor changes you can make to your program. First, do a 5 minutes cardio to warm up before your weight training. After that, finish with 30 minutes cardio.

protein

As for diet, try eating 5 times a day - 3 meals and 2 snacks, keeping the meal under 450 calories and snack under 300. Up your lean protein intake to at least 80 grams a day. Lean means boneless, skinless chicken breasts, fish and no fried food.

weight lifting

Cut back on white rice. BTW, 1 egg white is about 6 gram of protein. You could try supplementing with protein bars and drinks/shakes, just make sure to read the label cuz you don’t want a lot of sugar in them.

Cut back on salt and sugar intake and drink a lot of water. Hope these suggestions help, and keep up the good work!

    Thank you all for commenting. Ya, it is true about white rice. Even though I don’t get my carb from white rice I still eat it once or twice a week. I can’t totally give up white rice. It is like asking my husband to give up potatoes.

    As for bengbeng getting hungry at night, try timing your last meal 3 hours before you to bed. If you are still hungry, then have 1 oz of nuts like raw almonds. Just make sure the nuts are not roasted in a lot of oil. My husband is commenting about how I shouldn’t be talking about roasting nuts. lol

    :) to b honest nuts n especially roasted nuts r something which is quite rare on my menu. i will look for it on my next trip to the supermarket but not roasted. dont have an oven :)
