After a hard workout your muscles are literally starving for quality foods and are very receptive during this window of opportunity. The increase in enzyme activity makes it prime time for muscle building off of the protein and regaining energy from the sugars you receive. It terms of carbs, it's important to include a mix of low to high GI(glycemic index) ones, so you can get an almost immediate boost and then a sustained energy for the next couple of hours. A popular way to measure the balance of carbs and proteins you should have is using a 4:1 ratio of carbs to proteins. ]]> http://www.thebikinibodydiet.com/2009/11/working-out-post-workout-nutrition.html/feed 1 http://www.thebikinibodydiet.com/2009/07/dangerously-in-love-with-beyonces-diet.html http://www.thebikinibodydiet.com/2009/07/dangerously-in-love-with-beyonces-diet.html#comments Sat, 04 Jul 2009 16:36:55 +0000 Imaginary Diva http://www.thebikinibodydiet.com/?p=1648 http://www.thebikinibodydiet.com/2009/07/dangerously-in-love-with-beyonces-diet.html/feed 3
