Diet Lessons - when you gorge yourself by suddenly eating alot on an empty stomach,
your blood sugar levels shoot up. The pancreas will secret lots of insulin, a
hormone that brings energy to cells. These huge amounts of insulin will
send energy to both fat and muscle cells. This is your body's mechanism for
storing fat in response to over eating.
- a habit of skipping breakfast and eating a huge lunch makes it very easy to
gain weight.
- preparing the same foods differently changes the number of calories.
- when the amount of nutrients is the same, the low-calorie version is the
better option.
[Low<-Calories->High] [Steam<Boil<Saute<Fry]

- a bodybuilder diet is the exact opposite of stuffing yourself. You decrease


the amount of food of food you consume in one meal by eating more often.
This prevents blood sugar spikes because you never eat on an empty
stomach. Example of snack include protein bars and canned mackerel. And
there’s also Protein (mixed with water).
- The point is to choose foods that are high in protein and low in calories.
- there’s no need to cut high calorie foods out of your diet completely.
Having a cheat day where you can eat anything makes your diet more
effective.
- When you’re on a low-calorie diet, your body will eventually think this,
and enter into energy-saving mode. The cheat day counteracts this. By
indulging yourself, you trick your body into thinking it has enough calories.
When starting out, its good to have one cheat day per week.
Active Rest - Jogging, walking, swimming, stretching, and light weight training
- If you laze around, it actually takes you longer to recharge. Improving
your blood circulation is an important part of reducing fatigue. It spreads
oxygen throughout your body.
- Light exercise helps improve blood circulation. Essentially, you stimulate
recovery
> 2 things to consider if you’re going to do Active Rest.
A.) Don’t go full throttle and increase the intensity of your workout too
much.
B.) If you’re sick or hurt, you should heal up with Passive Rest.

How to - Moving like you’re on a sidewalk will waste your energy.


walk on a - When walking you should: 1.) Walk straight and tall, 2.) Keep your knees
mountain bent, 3.) step with your whole foot, 4.) Take short steps, and 5.) maintain a
steady pace.
How to - grab the rope and pull your body up. The act of pulling upward trains
