HOT TIP #94

Step on the scale. Do it just after you’ve gone to the bathroom but before you eat breakfast. Repeat every Friday. People who weigh themselves regularly are less likely to gain weight.

PREWORKOUT: When you eat before a workout, those calories go toward fueling your body to work optimally during your time in the gym—plus you’ll improve your mood and give yourself the burst of energy you need to motivate yourself to exercise. Dutch and British researchers found that eating before your workout speeds muscle growth by blunting your body’s receptivity to cortisol, a fat-storing stress hormone. That speeds fat loss during your workout and for an additional 24 hours, according to scientists at Syracuse University. Just make sure to include a balance of protein and carbohydrates. Eat one serving of carbohydrates with one serving of protein around 30 minutes before your workout. Down a protein shake. People who eat a protein-and-carbohydrate-rich meal before and after their workouts build TWICE as much lean muscle as those who wait at least 5 hours to eat.
