Recovery Nutrition

Ok, so now you are working out and 2 things are happening. One you are not making the gains as fast as you like and two you are sore for far too long.
There are 2 common reasons for this, assuming you are working out hard and did not injure yourself. One is over-training; the easy answer to this is cut back. Either cut the number of sets or increase the rest between workouts. We will discuss this more in the future. The other is nutrition or diet. I will start discussing post workout nutrition. After you finished working out there is a 2-hour window of intense opportunity for growth and recovery. During this time frame it is important to refuel your body. You need to feed protein into your muscles at this point. There are several types of protein each has a different purpose and absorption rate. Whey protein is the best for your 1st meal after you workout. It is fast acting and by design is great for recovery. Now depending on your diet goals, and the kind of diet you following, how you this 2 hour window varies. If you are trying to loose fat, wait at least 45 minute to consume your protein, your protein should mostly consist of Whey, meal replacement powders, MRP’s work well here. If you are trying to gain or maintain weight have one within the 1st 30 minutes and another before the 2 hours expire. In this case the 1st can be all whey, and 2nd one should be a mixed protein, different types of protein, [MRP’s are great for this too!] How much protein do you need? What about Carbs? This will be covered in my next update, or you can email me with your details and I’ll help.
You can purchase your MRP’s and whey at the links on the right or go to

Good Luck
