Common Fitness Myths

#1 Eating less is better for your metabolism

#2 Increasing your workout volume and it will burn more calories and increase metabolism

#3 Low fat diet is key for increasing metabolism

Ok, let’s get straight to the point – you need to increase chemical reactions in the body. Counting calories is only a measurement system.

Facts

#1 Eat more smaller meals regularly is better for blood sugar control *thus better controlling cellular respiration. On another note Focus on micronutrient rich foods and cook with more fresh herbs, you need powerful herbs to boost metabolism (chemical processes)
Eg. Cinnamon, Sage, Turmeric, Garlic, Ginger…etc Fresh herbs – not dried out of a glass.

#2 Increasing your volume of workout doesn’t always do this, but changing the type of workout you do will. For example – hard anaerobic training and aerobic interval training will. When doing strength and conditioning with the athletes in surrey, I make sure our training is tailored to their weaknesses; Changing the type of training is key for adaptation. 

#3 You need fat for hormone production (cholesterol for testosterone…etc) *I have done plenty of posts for the importance of fat, and will continue to regurgitate them!

More importantly fats are so important for the brain Microglia.
