Meal Replacements.

Sometimes, even after all your preparation, you just can't find the time for a whole meal.Or may be you just don't have the appetite for it - after all 6 meals a day can be quite filling! A simple and effective solution is to use meal replacement powers, drinks, or bars. These can easily be taken in coffee breaks or spare time and offer a great alternative to whole meals. While many varieties are available commercially many that want to avoid the highly processed nature of these products go about making their own.Homemade meal replacements also offer a great opportunity for you to control exactly what goes into them and what you get out of them.

A great idea for a meal replacement shake would be:
Bananas
Peanut butter
Rolled oats
Chocolate protein powder

Time at the gym.

It is usually recommended to spend no more than 1 hour at the gym.Physiologically the first hour is the most optimum for muscle gain and mentally more than one hour can de plain boring for some this applies to most people unless they are advanced athletes with reason to spend more time in the gym.

Why Whole Foods Are Not So "Whole" Anymore

Howdy Again,

According to recent studies our fruits and vegetables are losing nutrient value at an alarming rate.One study has shown a noticeable decline (ranging from 6% to 38%) in 13 essential nutrients including protein,calcium,phosphorus,iron ,riboflavin and vitamin C over the last 50 years.in no way does that mean we should stop eating fruits and vegetables--what it says is that a healthy diet may not be what you believe it to be. And as you know from the Chapter 10 of Strength for Life, when your body is deprived of essential nutrients you will be compelled to eat more. And for most this eating more arises as craving for things that are less than healthy.
