Here Are the 3 Foods to Completely Avoid After a Workout
These foods silently nullify the positive effects of a workout.
I was eating the wrong foods, and I never knew.
I thought my diet was pretty good, but it turned out that wasn’t the case because all of the food I ate after a workout caused me to gain weight. It didn’t matter what type or amount of workout I did.
The foods you eat after a workout can also have a huge effect on post-workout recovery — how sore, or not sore, your muscles are the next day.
It’s a natural feeling to eat something delicious and satisfying after a rigorous exercise session. And to make things worse, many foods marketed as “healthy” and “natural” foods contain ingredients that hinder the recovery process.
“Eating healthy right after a workout is as important as choosing the correct exercise.”
After encountering plenty of ruined workouts and misguided information, I realized what one should never eat after an exercise session for better recovery, restoring bodily energy, building muscle, and boosting metabolism.
If you’re looking for foods that won’t make your body feel worse post-workout, then avoid these foods at all costs.
