Boot Camp Food Advice
September 2, 2010
Would you ever consider drinking a glass of fat?
No, we are not crazy, nor is this a joke. Recent research has proven that having an easy take away meal is the same as having a good glass filled with, you guessed it, pure dirty fat.
Ethnic meals might sound a good idea for lunch, but each time you eat Chinese for instance – a standard menu consisting of crispy duck, chicken balls and spring rolls – you’re eating much more than you would think. That equates to, in fact, to just under 3,000 calories (a lot more than what the typical man’s everyday intake should be) or around a hundred thirty grams of fat.
You don’t have to be a dietician, a health and fitness trainer or even a boot camp expert to understand how wrong that is. In the UK, it’s been determined that more than one in three people consume take away food at least two times per week. And while all of the ectomorphes out there need not to worry, for the others that might not be good news.
Take-away foods (or, at this point, should it just be called ‘junk food’) is actually fine for the sporadic treat, but it shouldn’t become a normal habit. People who practice all sorts of sports and exercises are doing what’s right, but many of them are not aware of the fact that by eating the wrong type of food after practising, they are just doing more damage than good.
