Is a shot of protein the key to getting lean?

Hi YouFitMEFIT’s,
How was that rocking cronulla boot camp session this morning? There was a little rain to keep us cool after our suicide sprints. Hehe (awesome job) The Fed will be waiting on Friday for you’ll!
For all the current YouFitMEFIT’s and wanna be a youfitmefitter, doing intense training routines…this is a must read!
During our cronulla boot camp sessions and or any other high-intensity training routines causes a substantial breakdown of muscle protein. This is not helpful when trying to lose weight…if we do not know what we are doing with our diets post sessions our bodies will be looking/craving BAAAD/comfort foods. This is just too hard after a few days of saying no to BAD carbs post intense exercise sessions. We end up losing the plot and do our selves a number with a Big Mac or 6! (Trust me I’ve lost the plot many a time)
What to eat or drink post session and an insight into what actually happens on the inside during and after high-intensity exercise workouts. During the recovery or post workout there is a reduction in the catabolic (breakdown of muscle) processes and a slow increase in the repair or anabolic (building of muscle) processes, which continues for at least 24hrs post session. Latest research has shown we are to intake with in the first hour a shot of essential amino acids from good quality protein foods or drinks (15-25grams)…helping promote the increase in protein rebuilding. For me, this always helps worn off the munchies (laughs) and ultimately helps the toning up process to kick into high gear! (lean muscles less fat)
Ciao ciao! Happy Aussie Day
