How to eat around the workout
Weight Management
Giorgia fitMindset provides personal nutritional advice to reach those goals that involve losing or gaining weight. After the review of the personal evaluation, those who express the desire of working on their BMI are required to keep a meal diary for 2-3 days. Based on that, we correct or modify bad habits and then wait until the next Personal Evaluation to see the results.
Only those with unhealthy BMI are allowed to talk about going on diets, and we have a team of dietitians and health coaches who collaborate with GfM. For everyone who has a healthy BMI, we encourage them to follow a balanced diet that accepts occasional excesses, because we are always ready to compensate by exercising.
Carbs and Proteins
In my experience, it's better to eat carbs for breakfast and lunch to be full of energy for the day, and then proteins for dinner to slowly reconstitute the muscles during the night. Vegetables are always good as a big side, and fruit or make great snacks.
Saying that, the only nutritional advice that really matters in order to join the workouts is to be hydrated and full of energy.
A meal plan is a very good tool, but sometimes we get absorbed by the day and realize we are completely out of battery. Skipping the workout is never an option because we need it to relieve our stress and actually recharge our energy (even more so if it was a messy day!). So, that would be the right occasion for eating simple carbs (a piece of chocolate, spoon of honey or jam) or nuts (peanut butter, mix) and drinking an electrolyte drink or a healthy fruit juice before joining the workout.
