4 Reasons You Must Have Post Workout Drink After Training

1. Catabolism -Body is in catabolism and need carbs so that you are not burning the muscle protein that you just spent time building

2. Glycogen — Body needs to restore the glycogen stores burnt during your training or workout session. Body uses glycogen as energy and when that is gone, it turns to fat as it’s source of energy and starts burn FAT, which is Good. If you do not restore your glycogen (through simple carbs) then your body will immediately stop burning fat, hold on to it and start to burn your muscles instead

3. Protein –Your body and muscles need to be fed protein for recovery and muscle repair

4. Insulin — You need to spike Insulin (through simple carbs) to help transfer the protein to the muscles quickly and efficiently

    You have to have clean, healthy nutrition in order to lean up. you cannot out train a bad diet, no matter how many funk workouts you do...head over to fenvsfunk program for women in the info section and use that nutrition plan, laid out for you

  • Hey Samuel, yes you can have a post workout meal instead for sure...make sure you eat some starchy carbs though if you have just finished a Metabolic, HIIT or Combat Training....Brown rice, quinoa, sweet potato for example as well as protein (chicken breast or fish) and lot's of veggies..throw in some healthy fats too.
