Wether it be at the gym, or reading it in your favorite fitness magazine, you have probably heard at one time or another that it is all about the diet. The reason many experts stress the importance of diet, is simply this. Diet will determine what you get out of your workout and whether-or-not you reach your goals. Whether it is gaining muscle mass or cutting, without proper diet you will achieve neither very well. A true indicator of how important diet is, would be to look at members in your gym. You can tell those who have diet down packed - they actually change their body composition in some manner. Then you have others you see that work their ass off, but never, ever change. These are the folks who do not have diet mastered. The path to a healthy lifestyle is more than just putting in the time and going through the motions. You need to work on both your diet as well as your own exercise routine. find your own metabolic pathway rather than DISTURB it. Your endocrine system is a pretty delicate thing that can be tweaked, but you will most likely have a great deal of tweaking to do before that even becomes an afterthought. Diet is a very personal thing, and what may work for someone else, quite often wont work for you. |
