Early Morning Nutrition For Sexy Arms

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

For the woman with the average lifestyle, basic nutrition for getting rid of fat arms isn't that complicated. Well it's not that complicated if you filter out all the marketing hype.

There are, however, certain situations when basic nutrition won't do. You have to take things a bit further or you run the risk of not being able to get sexy arms.

One tricky area is when you exercise very early in the morning. Since your body is coming out of a fasted state, you have to be very precise with your nutrition.

Thus, without further ado, here are some tips for early morning workout nutrition:

1. First priority is to drink. Water, not booze! You are severely dehydrated when you wake up whether you feel it or not. So drink at least 2 cups of water immediately-do this before anything else. You also need to rehydrate or else you won't be able to digest breakfast.

2. When the workout is 3 hours upon waking. Eat a complete and balanced breakfast. Don't skimp here! Have a source of protein, carbs and fat. And if you want to take it to the next level, add in some vegetables.

3. Exercising 1 hour after rising. Two slices of whole grain bread with any type of nut butter should do. You could use almond butter, peanut butter, or my favorite, sunflower seed butter. Just make sure that your bread doesn't have added sugar.

4. If you're going to exercise 10 minutes after waking up. Have some type of carbohydrate supplement like Gu energy gel. Or you could have a shake with maltodextrin and casein protein. The maltodextrin will be absorbed very quickly by your body and the protein will prevent muscle breakdown.

Exercising right after waking up is not good for you. It's simply too hard for the female body to digest food so quickly. If you do this, you're most likely going to start exercising while still in the fasted state-not a good thing if you're trying to get sexy arms! So try to give yourself at LEAST 30 minutes between eating and exercising in the morning. - 17268
