Evolving Your Post Work-Out Nutrition

Why I ditched my protein shakes.

Think to yourself for a moment and recall how much $$$ in the past year
have you spent on nutritional supplements...?

I'm talking Pre-Workout, Post-Workout, Muscle Enhancers, Weight-loss pills,
"Vitamins", Fish-Oils, etc.

If it doesn't come in your food...consider it a supplement.

But the real question is, how did you get stuck in this endless loop of buying a product every month?

Maybe a friend recommended a brand that works for him or her, an article you read from bodybuilding.com, you saw some ripped chick online that promotes "her brand", or probably the worst-case scenario someone at GNC, swindled you into a "HOT SELLER".

From experience of being on that side of health & fitness, and walking the superficial path of "being healthy" I've been there, and I've fallen for all 4 of the scenarios above.

My partner even worked at GNC for a while… (FREE SH*T!)

Let me tell you, yeah it "works" for the few months it might last, and heck maybe even years if you are persistent (and don't go broke).

But when I really sat down and reflected on how I was nurturing my body & mind, I came to the conclusion I was stuck in a loop.

I was hooked on these supplements.

Sure, in my mind I felt it was a healthy addiction.

Always reassuring myself with, "Well who doesn't use supplements?"

"It's normal"

But when I zoomed out to a bigger perspective and did my own research
on the products, I was consuming DAILY.

I got a bit nervous.

Synthetic vitamins and minerals?
Why is there aluminum in this detox product?
and what the hell is WHEY anyways!?

I finally said f*ck it.

My body deserves better than this.

Now don't get me wrong, I know there are definitely some "better" supplement companies out there, with products that are decently manufactured.

But what I'm getting to is the keywords...
"companies", "products" and hello "manufactured".

Why are we making it so complicated to nurture and heal our bodies?
Why do we think we NEED these products to be our best?

Well, whatever the reason is, let me inform you, YOU DON'T NEED THEM TO BE YOUR BEST.

You're already kick-ass my friend.

I'm gonna let you in on my secrets to being healthy, strong, and in supreme shape WITHOUT supplements.

GOOD QUALITY FOOD.

GARDENING.

COOKING.

DOING YOUR OWN RESEARCH.

and of course…

GET OFF YOUR bum & MOVE!

Simple.

You have to put in the work to get results, none of this quick-fix crapola

It's an illusion, if you want to be healthy, you can't rely on a pill to do the work for you.

It's all you, and it's always been you.

Start COOKING after your gym session, make a delicious meal with your partner and
learn to nurture your body holistically. Your nutrition greatly influences your general health. But in a world where various dishes are readily available, making decisions that best position you for success in your workout can be challenging. Professionals like Dr. John Heary can plan and tailor your nutrition to meet your needs. Their insights can help you make decisions that will help in your overall fitness and health.

Buy a BOOK and READ, if you're interested in a subject, go for gold, you don't need school for that.

Grab a shovel and your headphones then go DIG yourself a GARDEN bed. You'll be sore tomorrow!

And MOVE!
Just cause you "went to the gym" doesn't mean SH.
If you come home & plop your bum on the couch for the rest of the day,
you can kiss that workout goodbye.

So if you think you still need that extra boost in the gym,
or those instant post-workout shakes so you don't "lose muscle".
I ask you to sit down and reevaluate why you are "getting healthy" in the first place.

Is it for other people?
Is it to look a certain way?
Or is it for yourself?

Listen to your heart and be smart my friends.

Till next week,
Kendra
