Kettlebell Training and Nutrition
As with any exercise program you need to watch what foods you put into your mouth to receive the best benefits. Too many people will begin a new exercise routine and then get discouraged because they did not see any results. Especially if the results they desired was to lose weight.
It really is true that you are what you put in your mouth. If you constantly eat a barrage of fatty foods and sweet foods, then this shows up as layers of added fat on your body. By choosing to start an exercise routine you obviously want to improve your body. Fueling your body from the inside will improve how the outside looks!
Yes, it is difficult to change your eating habits. The nice thing is that you don’t have to make all the changes at once. This is often way too difficult for people to handle and the main reason why people revert back to their old eating habits.
Breakfast is known as the fuelling meal of the day. So why not start there? Instead of grabbing a muffin or donut on the way to work or school why not make time for breakfast. Good examples of a healthy breakfast include a poached egg on toast with yogurt or a piece of fruit. Or try a bowl of oatmeal mixed with applesauce, flax seed and a little brown sugar or honey to add a touch of sweetness.
Shakes are another great alternative for breakfast or lunch and to use as a snack. You can make your own shake or smoothie by using milk, fruit such as a banana or strawberries and a couple of ice cubes to thicken it up.
Adding more protein to your diet can help improve your muscle mass and can actually help speed up weight loss. Many people do not eat enough protein with each meal and this one small addition can bring huge changes about in a small amount of time.
Using protein shakes can help you add more nutrition to your diet and can easily be added to your breakfast shake. Protein will boost your energy levels and give you more stamina to get through your Kettlebell workout.
Other easy changes you can make to your eating habits include adding more fruit and fresh vegetables. Aim for one serving of each every day to start with. You may find that you actually enjoy eating them and automatically start eating more. Many manufacturers now make pre-packaged vegetables that are ready to go. This includes packages of pre-washed lettuce and spinach all ready to serve with tomatoes, cucumber and a tasty low fat salad dressing.
If you really want to see and feel the best results from your Kettlebell training then think about the foods that you are currently eating. Try to add a few fresh fruits and vegetables in each day as this will help boost your weight loss efforts. Who doesn’t want to feel and look as good as possible?
