embodying the wellness girlie aesthetic⋆.ೃ࿔*:･🎀

i rly love the pink pilates princess aesthetic so i thought i'd make a post on some habits that i've incorporated that rly fit this aesthetic. and improve my wellness in general.

THE PLAYLIST : for the pink pilates princess aesthetic i rly love to listen to music that makes me feel like a doll~ so the playlist aspect of this post is totally customizable and just suited to however u wanna feel. i listen to a lot of twice and sabrina carpenter when i work out. but listening to music just elevates the experience

THE NUTRITION : u dont have to do a complete 180 in the things that u consume, instead start implementing little by little, foods and drinks that'll improve ur health. bcuz u glow differently when ur glowing not only from the outside but the inside as well

kombucha - i totally recommend trying it if u haven't before. its kind of carbonated and u can get it in any flavors. kombucha in a nutshell is tea thats been fermented. it heals ur gut and contains lots of probiotics which are good for ur body in general

drink tea - drinking tea daily is so so so good for you. if ur a bit intimidated by tea start off with a tea 99% of people enjoy, spearmint/peppermint tea. idk many people who DONT like spearmint tea. its just an easy tea to enjoy and its RLY good for ur skin and ur body.

smoothies - look up smoothie recipes online! smoothies are so yummy and customizable so if u dont wanna directly consume ur veggies, you can get them in through a drink! its revolutionary. my go-to is strawberry and banana, bcuz its not only delicious and good for me, but its also pink which is the main reason

eat more salads, açai bowls, eat ur oats, drink ur smoothies and of course dont forget ur matcha

supplements - u can find wellness vitamins or supplements virtually anywhere. a brand that i rly recommend is ollie. im taking their hair skin and nails vitamins and they're lovely.

THE EXERCISE : if u go to youtube and look up follow along pilates workouts u can find SO many. use ur resources guys! if u try pilates and it isnt rly ur thing, try dance workouts or workouts for songs. try a workout challenge. working out doesn't have to be dull. the key is to find something that u enjoy doing and doing it consistently

SELF CARE : ofc the pink pilates princess prioritizes her self care time~ self care is just a good habit to incorporate period bcuz of the massive benefits on ur mental + physical + emotional state

do a face mask - hydrate ur skin guys

get ur nails done - the classic pink pilates princess nails are pale pinks and french tips

take a bubble bath - invest in a high quality bath bomb or bubble mixture that smells nice

invest in a gua sha

start oiling ur hair and putting in hair masks to keep ur hair healthy

write out what ur grateful for (self care isnt only physical)

GOING FOR WALKS : going for walks is amazing. walking improves cardiovascular health and reduces the chances of heart disease and strokes. i love to go for walks and listen to music or a podcast. just make sure that your walking in a safe space or with someone that u trust, especially if ur alone (stay safe <3) going for walks also helps clear ur thoughts!!

ATTIRE : buy clothes that make u feel cute and that make u feel good whilst working out! i like to wear a lot of pink when working out~ when i type pink pilates princess inspired outfits into pinterest i see a lot with leg warmers too! i think that having a cute outfit to workout in motivates u a lot to actually perform the actions and embody the wellness girlie aesthetic. cuz when u look the part -> u feel the part

and last but not least ENJOY urself and romanticize it, have fun <3

Remember, the journey to becoming the best version of yourself is a marathon, not a sprint. Embrace every step, celebrate your victories, and learn from your challenges.

Daily Check in - October 18th, 2023 🎀

Hello my lovelies <3

Here's a little update for today!! It feels nice to be posting again!

🩷 What I Ate Today -

Breakfast - southern style hashbrowns with ketchup, a cup of coffee

Pre Workout snack - one medium banana and a 3/4oz single serve cup of jiffy peanut butter, 1/4 scoop of preworkout (in water ofc)

Lunch - 1 large bowl of protein pasta w 2 slices of buttered bread, a coffee

Dinner - 1 bowl of spicy ramen with a small handful on shredded cheese

Snack - 1 bowl of mint chip ice cream

Extra - 3 cups of coffee TOTAL

Feels like a lot and I did go over my eating goal for the day but it is what it is, I had an emotionally rough day filled with a lot of crying, a therapy appointment, and a lot of calming down from my boyfriend over video call. Rough days happen, and I tend to let myself just feel the emotions in order to sleep easy and have a better next day!

🩷 Personal Accomplishments -

Made it to the gym, attempted a glute workout (left early due to frustration, lack of proerpr form, and to minimize risk of injury)

Wrote down everything I ate and my workouts in my new fitness and health journal

Showered

Did both morning and night skincare routines

journaled a little bit

brushed teeth

did a large load of laundry and put away all clean clothes

washed dishes

had a therapy appointment

cleaned up parts of room, put away new stuff

There were no academic accomplishments bit I am going to complete a good amount of homework before my cooking shift (for my cooking class) tomorrow. I've been trying to take it easy in a way that doesn't set me behind in my academics.

I broke down crying today with my boyfriend. I realized I've been feeling like such an imposter lately. Like I don't deserve all the good and all the accomplishments I've achieved. Like this life I'm living isn't real or this is the calm before some storm. I just feel so undeserving of everything. I feel inadequate, like I'm not good enough for a lot of thing. I feel like I'm perceived as this good daughter, good friend, good girlfriend, good employee, good student, good person but that it's not actually true? Though my boyfriend and my father have both reassured me that it is true and I am doing good. They've reminded me that I just need patience, discipline, and consistency in my habits and that everything is going to be and already is okay. I'm lucky to have such a loving boyfriend and such an awesome dad, too. The men in my life are the people I look up to most <3

🩷 Personal ToDos, Oct 19th -

morning + night skincare

morning cardio workout at the gym

read a chapter or two of a self help book

shower + brush teeth AM/PM

wash comforter + air dry

morning and night guided journal

morning stretching

Daily journal prompt

zoom call with boyfriend

sleep 6 to 8 hours

pre lab 8 quiz anatomy lab

lab 7 lab report anatomy lab

component 2 psyc class

My goal is to complete all of that between the time I wake up at 5am and 2pm with my morning routine, workout, meals, and getting ready for my cooking thing all in between. But I can do it, I'm not worried. I'll have the time to do it all! I just need to manage my time and not be on my phone as much.

I'm trying to get back into listening to podcasts and watching more producitve and healthy vlogs from youtubers I enjoy! I'm currently watching vlogs and content from Rebecca Jay, Michaela Bento, The Bliss Bean, LenaLifts, truly.jia, Study to Success, Lindie Botes (her earlier language videos), and Mikalya Mags. My favorite podcast is The 5AM Miracle: Healthy Productivity for High Acheivers by Jeff Sanders.

If you have any health, lifestyle, fitness, or productivity youtubers or podcast recommendations please comment them or inbox me so I can check them out!! I am always looking for new content to enjoy!!!

In today’s episode of “Dear God, she’s at it again in the kitchen!”

Low Calorie Vegan 2-Ingredient Brownies

As you may have noticed, I’ve recently gotten into healthy low calorie baking. Earlier today, I found this recipe video by Rahul Kamat and decided to give it a spin myself.

Btw, go check out his channel! It’s full of videos on low calorie baking and he also provides nutritional info about everything he makes.

Now, let's get cracking!

What you’ll need

Tools

A square baking tin

A fork

A spatula

A piece of parchment paper

A bowl

Ingredients

6 bananas

40g cocoa powder

A pinch of salt

Sweetener (optional)

Process

Preheat your oven to 175 degrees Celsius.

2. Mash the bananas until there is a smooth mixture. Yes, your arms will hurt, but it’s a free workout.😉😝

Think of the reward!

I’ll admit, though, my batter still had some wee lumps because I used bananas that weren’t fully ripe (I don’t have much of a sweet tooth). Then again, you can only do so much when your arms are pure jelly.

2. Add the cocoa powder and fold it into your banana mush with a spatula. Add a pinch of salt. Optional: add sweetener to taste.

3. Crumble the baking paper and line your baking tin with it.

4. Plop it in the oven for 30 minutes.

[Optional] Lick the bowl clean before you give it a wash and clean up the rest of the mess.😉

5. After 30 minutes, pull the brownie from the oven. It could look a bit burnt, but that’s alright. The top should be firm. Also, it’s supposed to jiggle when you give it a shake.

TRUST THE PROCESS!

Here’s what mine looks like:

Positively looks like a piece of chocolatey banana heaven🤤

6. Let it cool until it’s reached room temperature and plonk it into the fridge for about 2 hours to properly firm up.

7. Cut into either 6 (118 kcal per serving) or 16 pieces to enjoy with a cuppa or on its own.

I grew a bit impatient and had two slices already despite it not having firmed up enough yet. HOLY F*, IT’S SO GOOD! It’s so soft and moist. Just melts on the tongue.🤤

Gods, I could honestly eat the whole tray.

Also, this is a good example of what happens when there are banana chunks left in your batter. I guess my brownie truly is a banana brownie, haha.🤗😹

Side note:

- 6 pieces (118kcal per serving)

- 16 pieces (44kcal per serving)

And there you have it, a simple yet delicious low calorie vegan brownie. Let me know what your opinion is if you try this one out.

Also, seeing as I’m getting into baking as a hobby, should I maybe create another blog dedicated to it? That could be fun, I think. Yeah, I’ll consider it.🤔🧐

How to start a fitness journey

You always wanted to start moving your body but you always say "tomorrow" and end up on the couch again?

I will tell you some tips how to start your own personal fitness journey.

1. Find movement you enjoy

Find something that you truly enjoy! You will be able to motivate yourself a lot more if you like what you do. It has to be nothing extreme, just try different forms of movement for your body.

Here are some examples:

Walking, Yoga, Home workouts (Dance workouts, HIIT, Pilates, ...), Gym, Running, Stretching, Ice skating, Dancing, Cycling, Swimming, Boxing, Tennis, Hiking, Playing soccer, Zumba, ...

2. Start slow

For me it was very difficult to start. I always used to do some kind of sport and then always for an hour straight away. And then of course I didn't feel like doing this anymore because it was just too exhausting. Then I always quitted doing sports.

The key here is to just be consistent at the beginning! Try to find 2-3 days a week where you can do any form of movement you enjoy. Don't be too hard on yourself and start for example with a 20 minute workout on these days.

After a certain time you can increase your workout time. Just start slow and try to create the habit of moving your body a few days a week. You will find time to do a 20 minute workout two days a week, I am sure!

3. Find a workout buddy

Some people can motivate themselves better if they have a workout buddy (at the beginning). Maybe you can ask a friend that goes to the gym regularly if you can join in for a workout. Or you want to go on a daily walk with your best friend?

4. Think about how you will feel afterwards

This point is very important, because that gives me the most motivation when I don't feel like working out.

I always think about how good I will feel if I move my body. I am be so proud of myself, gain a lot of energy from the workout and always feel so fresh after my shower.

5. Consume motivating content

I personally prefer using social media for motivation and inspiration. Surround yourself with positive vibes and manifest yourself into the lifestyle you want to achieve!

You can watch YouTube videos about fitness, nutrition or Gymshark hauls. 😛 Follow people on Instagram that motivate you, do the same type of exercise that you prefer, spread healthy habits!

At this point I just want to emphasize, that please make sure you don't overdo it and consume toxic content (for example "what I eat in a days"), be careful that you follow people that have a healthy relationship with food and exercise.

6. Sportswear

Treat yourself to nice sportswear that benefits your exercise and looks and fits good for you.

It's so motivating to workout in cute fits, I always enjoy it so much more. And new sportswear is also a huge motivator!

7. Find the right time to workout

Everyone you know works out first thing in the morning. But you have no time for movement before going to work and you are also not a morning person. That is completely fine! Find your right time. Not everyone can workout on an empty stomach at 6 a.m., and you don't need to.

Try to workout during different times/days of the week and find your perfect exercising schedule.

8. Nutrition

I personally have had problems with food in the past. Let me tell you that nutrition is very important when it comes to exercise.

You don't need to trink a protein shake pre workout if you don't like it. You don't need to eat a salad for dinner that doesn't fill you up.

Instead try to include more vegetables and fruit in your diet and find out which food contains a lot of protein. You don't need a strict diet in your life, you need nutrition that fills you up and gives you energy to smash your workouts!

Find out if you prefer to exercise sober or if you need something to eat before working out.

Just try not to train immediately after eating, you need a few hours to digest.

Pre-workout meals could be for example: Bananas, Oatmeal, Chicken and vegetables, Cereal with Protein shake and banana, Smoothies, Protein bars/shakes, Eggs and toast, Pasta, Wraps, ...

Don't be too hard on yourself and please still enjoy the food you like.

Thank you so much if you read till here, I hope this helps. <3

Supplements For Athletes

GETTING AHEAD

Do you know how you need to be fueling for your workouts? Do you want to feel better about your pre-workout, workout, and post-workout game!? Are you someone who goes to GNC to buy your supplements and products, but you have no idea what you are buying?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you should continue reading. I could probably write a 10-page report on this topic, but I won’t. I will give you the highlights and if you want to know more, you will need to book an appointment for Nutrition 😊

PRE-WORKOUT

Step 1: Get your timing right. Your fuel and caffeine needs are going to look different depending on what time you work out. For the early-risers out there, if you are working out at 5:30 or 6 am, you will be best served to workout in a fasting state, as long as you ate a whole-foods dinner with some good fat, and protein, fiber, and whole-food carbs. If you have been up for a while and work out at 8 or 9 am, something that digests quickly like a banana will serve you best.

I definitely recommend caffeine before your workout; it will definitely give you an instant boost. This could be coffee or pre-workout. Be careful about energy drinks, make sure they don’t contain an excessive amount of additives and extras. If you aren’t used to having caffeine or more than 1 cup of coffee, just start with a small amount.

*Fun Fact: When you work out, you are using the energy from the food you 24-48 hours prior. You are not burning the calories from the gummy bears you just ate. The carbs you eat an hour or 2 prior to your wod are just to keep you from feeling light-headed or dizzy.

POST-WORKOUT

Step 2: Post-workout, you must consume protein. Your body will appreciate real food the most, but if you are on the run and can’t manage a meal, a protein shake will suffice. Make sure it is made with clean, wholesome ingredients. If you need suggestions, please just ask me!

Step 3: Creatine and BCAA’s-You should be using these if your goal is performance, strength, and lean muscle gains. Creatine is present in meat and fish but should be supplemented if your goal is gaining muscle. It will not cause you to gain fat, but rather burn more via optimal lean muscle gains and recovery. Creatine should not be consumed with caffeine. It should be a post-workout supplement and will be better absorbed with carbs.

Branched-Chain Amino Acids include Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine. These are essential amino acids. They can be found in chicken, beef, and fish. Keep in mind these amino acids are more abundant in grass-fed animals and wild-caught fish. These amino acids will help your muscles recover and provide electrolyte balance. You can take this pre-workout, during, or post-workout.

Too Tired To Work Out? Here’s How To Boost Your Energy 🔥

📌 Feeling too tired to work out? It happens to the best of us. You want to exercise, but the thought of it feels exhausting when you’re already running low on energy. Here’s how to overcome that slump and boost your energy for workouts.

1️⃣ Low Energy Makes It Hard To Work Out Consistently

➡️ You’ve got every intention to work out, but by the time you finish work or get through the day, you’re wiped out. The couch looks way more inviting than your workout gear. Sound familiar? I’ve been there too. Exhausted and stuck in that cycle.

2️⃣ Why Do Energy Levels Drop and Motivation Fade?

➡️ There are lots of reasons we feel drained—poor sleep, stress, lack of proper nutrition, or just the daily grind. When your body’s running on empty, exercise feels like the last thing you want to do. But here’s the thing: low energy often comes from the very things we can change.

3️⃣ How To Boost Your Energy and Get Back To Exercising?

➡️ Instead of waiting for energy to appear magically, here are some simple strategies I’ve used to get out of the fatigue cycle and regain the energy to exercise regularly:

Strategy 1️⃣: Prioritize Sleep (Yes, It’s THAT Important)

➡️ The number one culprit of low energy? Lack of sleep. It’s tempting to stay up late, but if you’re consistently feeling drained, getting quality sleep is your foundation. I used to sacrifice sleep for productivity, but once I made sleep a priority, my energy—and my workouts—transformed.

💡Pro Tip: Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep a night and create a relaxing bedtime routine to improve your sleep quality.

Strategy 2️⃣: Fuel Your Body With The Right Nutrients

➡️ Your energy levels are directly tied to what you eat. If you’re running on processed foods or skipping meals, it’s no wonder your energy tanks by mid-day. I started eating more whole, nutrient-dense foods, and my energy (and mood) improved drastically.

💡Pro Tip: Focus on a balanced diet with lean proteins, complex carbs, and healthy fats. Try eating a small snack before your workout, like a banana or some nuts.

Strategy 3️⃣: Start Small and Keep It Simple

➡️ When you’re exhausted, the thought of a long workout can feel overwhelming. But here’s the thing—you don’t need an hour. Start small. I started doing just 10-15 minutes of exercise on my low-energy days, and more often than not, once I started, I wanted to keep going.

💡Pro Tip: Commit to just 10 minutes. Once you get moving, you’ll often find the energy to keep going. And if not, 10 minutes is still better than zero!

Strategy 4️⃣: Move at the Time You Feel Most Energized

➡️ I used to push myself to work out at night when I was already exhausted from the day, and it was a struggle. Then I shifted my workouts to the mornings, and suddenly, I had way more energy. Everyone’s energy peaks at different times—find yours!

💡Pro Tip: Track your energy throughout the day and try to fit your workouts during your energy “peaks,” whether that’s morning, lunchtime, or evening.

Strategy 5️⃣: Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

➡️ Dehydration is a sneaky energy killer. Even mild dehydration can make you feel sluggish and unmotivated. I used to forget to drink water, and it hit me harder than I realized. Now, staying hydrated is a non-negotiable part of my day.

💡Pro Tip: Aim for at least 8 cups of water a day, and drink a glass of water before your workout to boost energy.

➡️ Energy isn’t just something you have or don’t have. It’s something you can create. Prioritize sleep, eat well, hydrate, and move your body. You’ll be amazed at how much better you feel and how much easier working out becomes!

📌 P.S. If this thread helped boost your energy, share it with someone who feels too tired to exercise! For more tips on balancing energy and fitness, join my free weekly newsletter here: https://marcomarconii.ck.page/eac0f41c6a 📬

Do you feel tired during your workout? Maybe you're not getting enough of the fuel your body needs. The easiest way to fuel up for your next workout or run is to have a smoothie about 60 minutes before. But make sure it's got the nutritional balance right. Why not add in some functional foods for an extra energy boost? This delicious pre-workout berry beet power smoothie recipe is a nutritious energy bomb to get you through your next workout. Made with mixed frozen berries, banana, protein powder, almond milk, Red Beet Crystalsand MCT Oil This Flora shake is packed with energy boosting nutrients and it's delicious! It's great for on-the-go use, takes just a few minutes to make, and isn't too heavy. MCT oil and beet crystals are especially effective if you need energy for endurance or training, which we'll explain in more detail below, as well as why beet crystals are a great way to incorporate beets into your daily routine. Give this recipe a try, I promise you'll love it, and even better, it'll give you the energy to power through your workout. The ingredients for this pre-workout smoothie are: Frozen Mixed Berries: It tastes delicious and is packed with nutrients. banana: As above, but add simple carbohydrates for an energy source. Flora Organic Red Beet Crystals: Why raw beets are no good? Here's why! Keep reading. Flora MCT Oil: An exceptional source of fat for instant energy. Vanilla Protein Powder: Aids in recovery and muscle repair. Milk Selection: Putting this smoothie together. What effect do these ingredients have on exercise? Frozen mixed berries: Research shows that plant-based antioxidants can help reduce muscle pain and inflammation. A 2021 meta-analysis found evidence that polyphenol-rich berries like blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries may help with delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and muscle recovery.1). Berries are high in fiber, low in calories, and packed with nutrients such as Vitamin C, Vitamin K, potassium, magnesium, and fiber. Fiber helps your body absorb nutrients more steadily, so they are often added to smoothies and shakes. It helps keep blood sugar levels balanced during exercise. banana: Like berries, bananas have They're easy-to-digest simple carbohydrates that will give you energy without adding weight. They're also a good source of fiber, antioxidants, and potassium, a mineral that helps prevent muscle cramps. Half a banana is all you need. Flora Organic Red Beet Crystals: Athletes have relied on beets for energy for decades. Beets are a natural source of nitrates, which your body converts into nitric oxide, a nutrient that supports your cardiovascular system and improves blood flow. Many studies have also shown evidence that it supports athletic performance, which is why athletes love beets. Although the full effects of nitric oxide take 2-3 hours to kick in, beets and beet crystals also provide simple carbohydrates that your muscles can use for a quick energy boost, and they continue to work in your body even after your workout is over. Beets contain important nutrients, including zinc, iron, potassium, magnesium, manganese, and vitamin C. They also contain powerful antioxidants, including glutathione, known as the "master antioxidant," and betalain, the phytonutrient that gives beets their vibrant red color. Both help reduce oxidative stress in tissues that is naturally caused by exercise. Some research suggests that betalain may also help with exercise-induced fatigue (2). Why use Beet Crystals instead of beets from the produce section? I love fresh beets but they're messy. And they stain everything. This recipe uses Flora Organic Red Beet Crystals, the best way to get your daily dose of beet nutrition without the hassle of fresh beets. With no messy peeling or chopping required, you can easily incorporate beet nutrition into your daily routine. Organic Red Beet Crystals Made with fresh organic beet juice pressed within 2-3 hours of harvest, it dissolves quickly.

It's naturally sweet, slightly tart and has no added sugar. This recipe calls for one tablespoon in your shake. MCT Oil: Due to their unique molecular structure, MCTs do not need to be digested like other fats. They are quickly absorbed and sent directly to the liver to be used for energy (3). That means you'll be ready to hit the road again sooner, doing those extra reps or running that extra mile. Some people also find that it suppresses their appetite. It's difficult to get enough MCTs from food alone, so the best way to get them is through supplements.

Try different berry combinations or mix it with diced mango or pineapple. To avoid unnecessary calories, try to avoid sweetened milk with added sugar, and the fruit and beet crystals in this smoothie will provide all the sweetness you need.

The Crucial Role of Nutrition in Fitness

When it comes to achieving fitness goals, whether they involve building muscle, losing weight, or enhancing overall health, nutrition plays a foundational role. While exercise is crucial for physical fitness, what you eat profoundly influences your progress, performance, and recovery. Here’s a comprehensive look at why nutrition is essential for fitness and how to optimize your diet for better results.

1. Fuel for Workouts

Nutrition provides the energy required to perform physical activities. Carbohydrates are the primary fuel source for exercise, especially high-intensity workouts. They are stored in the muscles and liver as glycogen, which your body taps into during exercise.

Key Points:

Complex Carbohydrates (like whole grains, vegetables, and legumes) offer sustained energy.

Simple Carbohydrates (such as fruits) can provide quick energy before workouts.

Example: A banana or oatmeal before a workout can help boost your energy levels and improve performance.

Whey Protein for Weight Gain: The Perfect Supplement for a Healthier You

In the world of fitness and nutrition, whey protein is one of the most trusted and effective supplements available today. For those looking to gain weight and build muscle, whey protein can be an essential component of a well-structured nutrition plan. But how exactly does whey protein contribute to weight gain, and why is it favored by so many? This blog will explore the benefits of whey protein for weight gain and provide tips on how to incorporate it into your diet.

What is Whey Protein?

Whey protein is a complete, high-quality protein derived from milk. It contains all nine essential amino acids, which are crucial for muscle growth and repair. As a byproduct of cheese production, whey protein is separated from the curds and processed into powder form, making it convenient and easy to consume.

There are three main types of whey protein:

Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC): Contains low levels of fat and carbohydrates, with protein concentrations typically ranging from 30% to 90%.

Whey Protein Isolate (WPI): A purer form of protein, with 90% or higher protein content, and very little fat or lactose.

Whey Protein Hydrolysate (WPH): Pre-digested protein that allows for faster absorption by the body.

All forms of whey protein are effective for weight gain, but choosing the right one depends on your individual needs and dietary preferences.

How Does Whey Protein Help with Weight Gain?

To gain weight, you need to consume more calories than your body burns. This is where whey protein becomes a powerful ally. Here are a few ways it promotes healthy weight gain:

Boosts Caloric Intake: Whey protein powder is calorie-dense. When you add it to your diet, you increase your caloric intake without consuming large volumes of food, which is ideal for those who struggle to eat enough throughout the day.

Promotes Muscle Growth: Whey protein is packed with essential amino acids, especially leucine, which plays a key role in stimulating muscle protein synthesis. This leads to the building of lean muscle mass, which contributes to healthy weight gain.

Improves Recovery Post-Workout: One of the best times to consume whey protein is after a workout. It helps repair muscle tissues that break down during exercise, speeding up recovery and preparing the body for the next workout. Regular use post-exercise can lead to significant muscle growth over time.

Reduces Fat Gain: Whey protein can help you gain lean muscle mass while minimizing fat gain. By keeping your protein intake high, you signal your body to use the calories you consume for muscle building, reducing the likelihood of excess fat storage.

How to Incorporate Whey Protein into Your Diet for Weight Gain

If you're serious about gaining weight, you'll need to be strategic about how and when you use whey protein. Here are some practical tips:

Use it as a Post-Workout Shake: After an intense workout, your muscles are primed for protein absorption. Mix a scoop of whey protein with water or milk and consume it within 30 minutes of finishing your workout. For additional calories, you can blend it with fruits, oats, or peanut butter.

Add to Smoothies: Whey protein can be added to smoothies to create high-calorie, nutrient-packed beverages. Blend whey protein with bananas, berries, spinach, and almond butter for a delicious and calorie-dense snack.

Incorporate into Meals: Whey protein can be mixed into your morning oats, pancake batter, or even soups and sauces to increase your protein intake throughout the day. This is a great way to sneak in extra calories without feeling overly full.

Take Before Bed: Consuming whey protein before bed can provide your body with a slow release of amino acids throughout the night, which is beneficial for muscle recovery and growth.

Choosing the Right Whey Protein for Weight Gain

When selecting a whey protein product, it’s essential to consider the quality of the protein and any added ingredients. Opt for whey protein concentrate or isolate, depending on your calorie needs and digestive tolerance. Avoid brands that add unnecessary sugars, artificial flavors, or fillers, as these can counteract your weight gain goals by adding empty calories.

Other Considerations for Weight Gain

While whey protein is an excellent supplement for weight gain, it’s important to remember that it should not be your only source of protein or calories. A well-rounded diet rich in whole foods like lean meats, fish, eggs, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables is crucial for long-term success.

Additionally, ensure you are strength training regularly. Building muscle requires both resistance training and adequate protein intake, and whey protein can only deliver results if you’re actively working toward muscle growth in the gym.

Conclusion

Whey protein is an incredibly effective supplement for anyone looking to gain weight in a healthy and controlled manner. By increasing your protein intake, boosting muscle growth, and ensuring faster recovery after workouts, whey protein helps you achieve your weight gain goals without the risk of excessive fat accumulation. Paired with a well-rounded diet and regular exercise, whey protein can be a key player in transforming your body composition and reaching your fitness targets.

Preparing for Tennessee's Popular Running Events and Marathons with Tennessee Men's Clinic

Get Ready to Conquer Tennessee's Running Events and Marathons with Expert Guidance from Tennessee Men's Clinic

Preparing for Tennessee's premier running events and marathons requires a well-rounded approach, combining effective training schedules, smart nutrition, and strategic planning. Whether you're gearing up for the Rock 'n' Roll Nashville Marathon or the Chattanooga Marathon, these expert tips will help you perform at your best.

Craft a Training Schedule that Suits You

Consistency is Key: According to Tennessee Men's Clinic, you must establish a regular training routine that gradually increases in intensity. Start with shorter runs and progressively build up your mileage. This allows your body to adapt to the demands of long-distance running without risking injury.

Incorporate Variety: Mix up your training with different types of runs—tempo runs, interval training, and long-distance runs. This not only keeps things interesting but also improves your overall endurance, speed, and strength.

Rest and Recovery: Don't underestimate the power of rest. Allow your body time to recover with at least one rest day per week. Active recovery, such as light yoga or stretching, can also help keep your muscles flexible and prevent injuries.

Prioritize Nutrition and Hydration

Balanced Diet: Fuel your body with a balanced diet rich in carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats. Carbohydrates are your primary energy source, so focus on whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Proteins help with muscle repair and recovery, so include lean meats, beans, and legumes in your meals.

Hydration is Crucial: Staying hydrated is essential, especially during long runs. Drink water throughout the day and consider electrolyte-rich drinks during intense training sessions to replenish lost minerals.

Pre-Run Fuel: Eating a light meal or snack an hour before your run can provide the necessary energy. Opt for easily digestible options like a banana, a piece of toast with peanut butter, or a smoothie.

Gear Up with the Right Equipment

Invest in Quality Running Shoes: Your running shoes are your most important gear. Invest in a pair that offers proper support, fits well, and suits your running style. Replace them every 300-500 miles to avoid wear and tear that could lead to injuries.

Comfortable Clothing: Choose moisture-wicking fabrics to keep you dry and comfortable during your runs. Dressing in layers can help you adjust to Tennessee's variable weather conditions.

Plan Your Race Day Strategy

Familiarize Yourself with the Route: Knowing the race course can help you mentally prepare for the terrain and any challenging segments. Study the elevation map and plan your pacing strategy accordingly.

Pace Yourself: Start slow and gradually increase your pace. It's easy to get caught up in the excitement at the beginning of the race, but conserving energy early on will pay off in the later miles.

Mental Preparation: Running a marathon is as much a mental challenge as it is a physical one. Develop a positive mindset, set achievable goals, and visualize crossing the finish line.

Listen to Your Body

Address Pain Early: Don't ignore any signs of pain or discomfort. Early intervention can prevent minor issues from becoming major injuries. Consult a professional if you experience persistent pain.

Adjust as Needed: Be flexible with your training plan. If you're feeling overly tired or under the weather, it's okay to take an extra rest day or adjust your workout.

Preparing for Tennessee's top running events and marathons requires dedication, planning, and a holistic approach to training and nutrition. Tennessee Men's Clinic says that by following these expert tips, you'll be well-equipped to tackle any race and achieve your personal best. Remember, the journey to the starting line is just as important as the race itself. Enjoy the process, celebrate your progress, and embrace the thrill of race day. Happy running!

Health update

I've been feeling so much better recently. Eating in the morning helps, especially a healthy carb like a banana or strawberries (I didn't have any bananas left so I had some fresh strawberries on my drive to work).

I do have minimal skin inflammation and don't even need to use steroids. My sister commented on how clear my skin looks and compared it to how inflamed it looked last months. It looked so bad and I felt hopeless. Now it's clearing up, the infections are going away, and I still have some inflammation on my hands but I don't need steroids (I think they look fine but I have some stubborn inflammation on my left palm).

I was worried about consuming extra calories throughout the day. But eating a carb in the morning gets rid of my inflammation and it works so well. I'm taking a break from fasting, but I'm going to stick to having a small snack in the morning. Even with the concern about extra calories, at least I now have the energy to go on long walks on my own. I used to be too fatigued to go for a simple walk. I love walking and can go for miles. But fasting made me feel so fatigued, I could no longer go for my regular walks.

I was reading a book today that talks about some lifestyle habits for people like me who are stressed and high energy. It says to reduce anything that causes stress, so to do gentle workouts like walking, pilates, and yoga, get massages and acupuncture (idk how I feel about that because needles and idk if it's scientifically backed, I haven't looked into it), quality sleep, meditation, epsom salt baths, and aromatherapy. These all sound relaxing to me.

I feel so much better now that I'm not fasting. My skin is healing and it may not be perfect. At least it looks great compared to how it looked previously and even without steroids (would look better and less inflamed but it looks great). I am eating well and have more energy to go for my long walks. I'm taking my dog out for long walks now and we love it.

I feel much less hopeless and depressed over my health. Within a month I recovered so fast. My skin still needs some healing time, but I know I will recover. Seeing my health decline hurt me a lot psychologically. I felt hopeless and so depressed and even angry. Now my skin is a lot better. And I have enough energy to walk 10k steps daily. I feel more optimistic about my health and now I can adopt other relaxing/cortisol reducing healthy habits and am more hopeful about other things stressing me out like my mental health and teeth. If anything both require adequate nutrition, vitamins, and minerals which prolonged fasting takes away from you.

Besides that my diet has been healthy. I had 1/4 of a crumbl cookie at work today (balance). I'm taking my digestive enzymes and drinking aloe juice. I feel less bloated and feel great overall.

I do have tight muscular calves and I know walking a lot does contribute to this. Probably even genetics as I've had this 10+ years ago before I started college (I saw old photos of myself). I'll see how I want to address this. Healthwise the muscles feel tight, so it makes sense to stretch them. Cosmetically they appear large compared o the rest of my body and wanted to see if there are safe nonsurgical methods to reduce their size.

I'm feeling great now and am so happy. My skin is healing because I'm eating more and am starting my day off with a healthy carb like a banana or strawberries. Also I now have the energy to go for long walks, which burns more calories (I was concerned about eating more calories but I'll definitely do that if it means saving my energy and skin). I'm optimistic I will heal. I'll see how I feel towards the end of this month. I've always been in decent health and seeing myself decline so rapidly was distressing. Thank goodness I found the root cause and I am addressing it and feeling much better now. I went for a walk now, let me see what other relaxing habits I can do tomorrow and this weekend.
