Repetto Kinetic Training

5 Nutrition/Lifestyle mistakes the guy on the left made.

1. I ate too much fat which made me go over my calorie intake. Fats have the highest amount of calories per gram and they’re easier to eat in volume. I would eat too much fat to get my daily protein goal and it wasn’t necessary. I would store more fat than I would burn.

2. I would eat fast food like Chic Filet and McDonalds 2-3 times per week and think it wouldn’t have an effect on my metabolism. I use to think I can ‘work it off’ in the gym but the truth is you can out train a bad diet. I ate too many cheat meals. lol

3. I wasn’t eating enough carbohydrates for fuel.
Carbohydrates are your primary fuel source when it comes to exercise. You need them especially if you’re physically active. I’ve lost 91lb. and ate lots of carbs to get there. Some days I would consume 750g and I was consistently losing weight while doing it.

4. I use to drink on the weekends. When you drink alcohol it makes it easier for you to go over your daily calorie intake because alcohol is made of calories. And you might eat more when you drink because it may increase your appetite and influence hormones linked to satiety (the feeling of fullness) like leptin and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). Alcohol also disrupts your sleep which can have a negative effect on your metabolism.

5. I didn’t do enough cardio. I would maybe do cardio 2 times per week if I felt like it. The truth is cardio is a game changer when it comes to losing weight. You can increase your daily calorie expenditure with walking 5-6 times per week. Even 1-2 miles daily can make a huge difference! So do your cardio and try to get your walking outside to get sunlight. Sunlight exposure helps with melatonin production which will help you sleep at night.
