Top Foods used by Ancient Romans to Burn Fat
Fitness isn’t a temporary fix. It’s a lifestyle and nutrition is critical. Easily more than 50% of looking good and getting the most out of your workouts is nutrition. Once you learn the basics, it becomes easier and easier to adapt to your new lifestyle and the fit feeling becomes addictive. The first daunting task of creating an effective yet tasty diet can be overwhelming. Eventually it will become second nature.A balanced diet includes the right macronutrients at the right times. Here are some foods for each macro nutrient group that you can’t go wrong with. Keep these stocked at you place at all times.
Protein is the building block of muscle. It’s also quite filling and requires the most energy expenditure by your body to process. Lean sources of protein should be in your diet.
Keep these proteins in your kitchen:
Chicken breast
Ground turkey
Lean ground beef
Lean cuts of red meat
Certain Types of Fish
Eggs
Greek yogurt
Whey protein
Fats are often seen as the enemy. But fats don’t make people fat, overeating does. Good Fats are essential for testosterone production, which is the major hormone for fat loss and muscle building. Good Fats are also necessary to keep your metabolism running smooth. And if you aren’t eating carbs later in the day, good fats are necessary to fill that caloric void.
Keep these fats in your kitchen:
Olive oil
Nuts
Peanut butter
Avocados
Cheese (hard cheese like Parmesans, Romano, or feta has the best protein to fat ratio)
Carbohydrates are your body’s primary fuel source. But overeating will quickly convert those excess carbohydrates to fat. Carbs should be eaten in the morning and pre and post workout. Carbs should be limited later in the day.
