another follow up question? why is it bad to drink COLD water? i thought ICE COLD WATER is better since it will require more energy/calories for the stomach to somehow process it. i apologize if i dont know the correct term. but all my life, I was thought that water is good for people on a diet. and cold water is better too according to some article i read at www.bodybuilding.com

Di ako nakatiis, I asked my trainer this. He said cold water is better since you expend more calories processing it -- to get it to body temp and all that.

Both actually, 15 mins before workout then after workout to gain that lost weight.. :upside:

In addition, for those of us that are really active, cold water makes it more appealing to re-hydrate ourselves. Most of us are chronically dehydrated even when not active or working out. Proper hydration is important to maintaining a good fitness level.

 

My take:

Eat less, more often.

Eat enough carbs to maintain a good glycogen level.

Eat complex carbs to maintain a stable glycogen level.

Eat less fat, more fiber.

Eat enough protein to maintain muscle mass.

before and after. studies say that sandwiching ur workout with protein can increase muscle build-up twice as much. :thumbsupsmiley:

[yobajnag]

i eat snack before working out. i never eat after kasi kelangan ko na matulog. i go to the gym after work at night shift ako. pro kung magpapalaki tlga ng katawan, its really advisable to eat after din.

Yes. Before and after.
