Based on a real example of a woman in her 60s who went to the gym 5 days a week yet lost muscle and gained body fat, this article explains how much nutrition affects your training results.
■ What you’ll learn
・Why going to the gym alone won’t build muscle
・The real example: after 6 months, body weight +5 kg, muscle mass -0.5 kg, body fat +5.5 kg
・Cause 1: Without enough protein, your body breaks down its own muscle
・Cause 2: Eating too many carbs and fats leads to fat gain instead of muscle
・Adults basically don’t need snacks. If you do snack, choose protein snacks
・Recommended: boiled eggs, nuts, salad chicken, tofu, canned fish, protein drinks
・Think of exercise and nutrition as a set
No matter how hard you work at the gym, your effort can backfire if you don’t get enough protein and eat too many carbs. Why not start rethinking your diet today?
