A follow up to the very successful βWhat To Eat Before Going Running?β..
Whether or not you enjoy running for your weight loss goals, fun, or competitively, itβs a great way to get your heart racing and healthy.Β
Β
Itβs a great way to get into working out and a step up from walking. A lot is made of what we eat before running to fuel us, but more must be said about what we eat afterwards because itβs just as important..Β
Β
Different foods can offer different benefits so of course I will be talking about those for weight loss.Β
Β
Here Are My 6Β Di Nutritional Choices..Β
Β
Watermelon
Watermelon is a great summer pick but of course you can have it anytime you like.
Β
Watermelon has few calories and is a good source of Citrulline and Lycopene.. which are both plant compounds.Β
Β
These two compounds help when you are tired and help relieve your muscles when they become sore after running.Β
Β
Also if you did not know, Watermelon contains 91% water by weight, so this is a good source of water and will rehydrate after youβve been running.
Β
WaterΒ
Itβs important that we drink water all the time, (Click Here) so after running is no different.Β
Β
When we exercise we lose a lot of water, so we drink water after we workout.Β
Β
Water loss increases if the physical activity is done outdoors on a really hot/humid day.
Β
To maintain hydration I advise you drink before, during and after you go running.Β
Β
Ice cold is my fav to drink after a runΒ but you drink how you feel.Β Β
Β
Banana
Banana is a great source of potassium, an electrolyte that is often eaten after a sweaty run.Β
Β
This is also great to pack and eat on the go because it has its own protective skin on it and a lot of you Di1βs love Bananas, so please go ahead and eat them.
Β
Bananas also helps you avoid muscle cramps and stop you from feeling fatigue during your run (Aids it!)
Β
High Fibre Cereals & Milk
Now if you read the βWhat To Eat Before Going Running?β (Click Here)
Then youβll know that I said to avoid fibre foods becauseΒ
theyβre bad for your tummy (Gassy).Β
Β
The thing is though, after youβve run you can eat high fibre foods and high fibre cereal.. so thatβs not trash like Coco-puffs or Frosties!
Β
Itβs more like Porridge, Weetabix, Branflakes & Fruit & Fibre.Β
Β
This is great to eat if youβre doing a morning run or having this as a pre breakfast or snack.. as it does not matter if youβre not a Di1 that can cook.Β
Β
Chocolate Milk
Chocolate Is a great drink to have after a workout, itβs loaded with protein and carbs that are fast digesting which helps our recoveryΒ and refills our energy.Β
Β
Make sure that the Chocolate milk is low in fat and has a low sugar content in grams.
Β
If itβs really really sweet itβs no goodΒ and is nearly as bad as those energy drinks that are just bottles of added sugar.Β Β
Β
Turkey Sandwich (No White Bread)
Turkey breast is a source of protein which is low in calories.
Β
Add this with some whole-wheat bread, which provides complex carbs..
Β
This will be released into your bloodstream and at a slower rate than its counterpart which is trash.. White breadΒ (Click Here)Β
Β
A slice or two of healthy fat will help you stay fuller for longer after your run also.Β
Β
THATβS IT!Β
Β I really enjoyed sharing this with you guys. Please do let me know thoughβ¦Β
