Manipulate Your Food!

Manipulating your food can help achieve a specific result. People often over simplify nutrition and leave a lot of potential behind because of this - when you learn to approach nutrition on a deeper level you can have a faster impact on your results.

Here are three very simple examples of how manipulating your diet at the right time can achieve this.

1) Addressing Hunger & Hypoglycaemia

If you feel severely hungry after a specific meal and potentially find that your blood sugar levels have dropped, increasing fibre and fats within that meal will help. Digestion will be slowed down, in turn improving the regulation of blood sugar levels. This is a very basic manipulation which can actually make a profound difference to the way you feel and perform after a meal.

2) Improving Recovery

If recovery is an issue on any given day due to training intensity then increasing carbohydrates in the post workout window might help. Yes, the insulin spike helps preserve muscle tissue but it's also the shuttling of amino acids (as well as glucose) into the muscle cell which can help.

Legs would be a good example where more calories are needed at the right time, to facilitate recovery of a larger mass of muscle fibres.

3) Accelerating Fat Loss

Carb and calorie cycling is a very effective way to burn body fat, creating moments where the metabolism is being maximised with higher calorie days and other days where calories are reduced to create a more significant energy deficit. Again, this comes down to knowing when something needs to be applied in the correct context.
