Sugar and fat...friend or foe?

Understanding the food you eat and when to eat it is the key to the perfect body.  Alot of people feel they have to avoid sugary food and food high in fat in order to achieve that lean body....not true!!!! 
In fact it the opposite, by utalizing sugars and fats you can actually maximise muscle gains and fat loss!!!

Here are the facts

• Sugary foods in the morning or after training helps replenish glycogen levels stopping muscle wastage and heightens your metabolism to aid fat loss.
• Healthly fats in between meals and later at night help slow digestion, keep you feeling full and help aid fat loss.
• Fats should be avoided around training as they slow digestion of protein and carbs when you need them in your body the quickest.

Sugary food examples
white bagel with jam or honey
low fat chocolate milk
sports drinks - e.g. Gatorade
jelly beans

Healthy fats
Mixed nuts (plain)
Avocados
Fatty fish

Remember if these are taken in at the right time they can aid fat loss and increase muscle gains - taken at the wrong time it will work the other way.
