Sports Nutrition

If you’ve been a dailymuscle.com reader long enough, you would know by now that I’m a big fan of making your own meals - not just because it’s ‘the right thing to do’, but simply for the 2 following reasons I believe to be crucial in the quest for a better body:

1. It is the most cost-effective way to get top-notch nutrition

You get full control of the ingredients that go in - and you don’t settle for the cheapest (like most restaurants would do). You can even go organic if you want to - and it would be far cheaper than eating the same thing outside.

2. It gets you into the habit of preparing your own meals

Whether if it’s to be eaten immediately, or meals that you prepare ahead to take with you to work, etc (so you can stick to your eating plan, and not have to eat the junk you’re usually surrounded with). Plus, you could really impress your date.

I was at the gym a couple of days ago when I noticed they were holding this fun event (sorry for the poor-quality photo):

In conjunction with World Diabetes Day two days ago (November 14), here I present to three realistic ways to cut down your sugar intake… and just in case you think I’m making this up or suggesting unrealistic changes, I’d like to highlight that these are the exact things I do for myself - so if I can do it… then you can too! :-) [click to continue...]

I was having a chat with one of my clients this morning, explaining to her on how she can progress the quality of her many meals - aiming for balanced meals each time.

A few hours later, I received an email from a fellow reader from Kenya, who briefly explained his diet to me, in his exact words: As for eating I am watching what I eat, mostly vegetables and fruits, and on
weekends chicken.

Then just moments ago, as I am seated at the Starbucks in Bangsar Village, I noticed this really tall and well-built Caucasian guy - blonde ponytail, reminds me of a wrestler - he obviously works out (he was even in workout attire), but let’s just say that your goal would not be to have a body like his. He whipped out a tub (yes, a tub!) of grapes, a whole apple - and a coffee to go with it. Now though he may have seemed to have eaten ‘healthy’ (it’s all fruits), but still, the meal isn’t balanced.

Now think about what you eat on a daily basis.

Are your eating habits giving you what you want – a lean, healthy body that you’re able to maintain? One that you’re happy with when looking in the mirror? If not… then you may want to pay attention to what I have to say in this post… [click to continue...]
