Everything you wanted to know about sports nutrition

If you think that sports nutrition - it's steroids and protein in the syringe, then you should read this material

I had long wanted to write this article, though, because this topic is very relevant in connection with the promotion of sport and a lot of people relate to sports nutrition is very biased. Today I will try to change that.
This material was accumulated in my head for a long time, but to write about sports nutrition, without testing it for yourself, it would be hypocritical. Therefore, exactly a year has passed since I started using sportpit and ready to share their knowledge and results.

To begin with, what sportpit - it sports supplements that complement your main diet. These include a lot of different products. I have experienced the following Statement:

• Protein
• Amino acids
• creatine
• Vitamin-mineral complexes
• Weight loss

Over the years I have tried all of these sports supplements, some (protein and amino acids) of different brands, and now try to describe the results that they have given.

Protein

Protein - Protein is concentrated. This is the same protein that is found in everyday products: eggs, chicken, milk. It differs from them only the consistency and concentration. Therefore, all those who shout that the protein is harmful, may... continue to shout about it, because I can hardly convince them otherwise. Protein is used to quickly get a portion of the protein without cooking some food.

An experience

Protein can easily replace one meal a day. From it immediately comes a feeling of satiety, and if you add to the cocktail of some banana, then you can safely forget about the hunger for a few hours.

It is also very helpful in situations when you urgently need to eat a portion of protein, but cook it there is no way. As the Council can recommend to read the reviews to different types of protein, as some species have a disgusting taste.

Amino acids

Amino acids - are elements that make up proteins. Muscles 35% composed of three amino acids:

• leucine
• isoleucine
• valine

That is why amino acids or BCAA (complex 3 most important amino acids) are often used in addition to the protein, as they are likely to complement each other rather than replaced. Most often, the amino acid drink in the morning, before going to bed or during a workout, as catabolic processes at this time the most powerful, and amino acids to prevent these processes.

An experience

Like all other sports supplements, amino acids are tasteful and clean. Professionals recommend drinking pure amino acids, but it's just wild stuff. Seriously, I'm much easier to force yourself to eat a bunch of chicken breasts every day than to drink that disgusting powder. Therefore, I advise all the same to take amino acids with taste, so you at least feel pleasure in the admissions process.

Personally, I did not feel any change, any increase in muscle mass, or in your own feelings. It is difficult to say that they did not work, perhaps without them it would have been even worse. But if to choose between them and protein, I would leave the protein, since its action is more pronounced than that of amino acids.

creatine

Creatine - a special acid, which is involved in the process of muscle growth. The main objective is to increase creatine muscle strength. And, as you know, the greater the force, the greater the muscle.

An experience

Creatine - this is probably the most effective supplement. Start taking it, you're just a few days will feel an increase in strength, albeit small. This happens due to the fact that when the muscle exercise expend reserves of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and creatine makes up for these stocks.

Very common theory is that in the early days of creatine supplementation is necessary to do a creatine loading, taking it in large amounts. I did not dare to do it, and many well-known athletes, whose opinion I trust, are not advised to do so. it does not cause any harm to the body (as well as the rest of the supplements listed in this article), but in susceptible individuals during chronic administration may have problems with digestion. You do not know without trying :)

Vitamin-mineral complexes

All of them accepted, and everyone knows what it is. But sports vitamins and minerals (IUD) is a bit different from the usual, which can be purchased at any pharmacy. Of the main differences:

• greater concentration of vitamins and minerals
• a slightly different composition, which is more suited for athletic exercises

An experience

I am very sorry that I did not start taking vitamins and minerals in the beginning of their training. Now we have to put up with old injuries in the joints, which I received, I came into the hall and began to climb, like an idiot, a huge weight. The body I do not forgive. It seems to me that the IUD could prevent it, or at least mitigate the effects.

a huge number of WMC exists in the market. To all of them written compositions, so walk carefully on all of them and compare. The price may turn out completely different for the same composition, and very easy to overpay for the brand. However, as elsewhere. The only side effect may be the yellow color of urine at first receptions. This is due to the fact that the complexes have vitamin B2, which gives it the characteristic color.

Weight loss

Weight loss - these are special drugs that help to reduce body fat. Please do not build illusions about the fact that these drugs will remove your excess kilograms. They can help you, but only if you add them to training and nutrition.

There are two types of fat burners:

• thermogenics
• lipotropics

Action thermogenics is to increase the body temperature, and due to this increase in calorie consumption. Lipotropics accelerate the release of fatty acids from cells and thereby promote weight loss. What to choose for yourself decide for yourself, I would recommend not to use this product, and here's why.

An experience

The first few times after taking fat burners you feel incredible euphoria, as if a bunch of Power drank cans. In training you do not think about anything except work in the gym, and this concentration - it's really cool feeling. Adding fat burners to your diet for a month, I dropped somewhere in the kilo more than the dumped before without them.

But all is not well. Weight loss hard enough hit on the psyche. First, a warning is written on the packaging that they can not take less than 5 hours before bedtime. In fact, I took them in the morning or afternoon, and still very often could not sleep all night. Second, after a while, you can become more aggressive (not in my case). I have fat burners after receiving constant euphoria came, so I can not confirm it 100%.

Do not forget that it is strong enough load on the body, and the fact that your body will always maintain the temperature 1-2 degrees above normal, positive it is not exactly impact. Say that they can not take it - hypocrisy, because I took them and especially do not regret this about it, but if you have any health problems, you should consult with doctor.

Output

I hope you understand that the stories that sports nutrition is bad - it's just a myth. Sportpit - it's more convenience than a necessity. If you have the opportunity to eat right and get all the necessary elements of the usual food, you can not even look in the direction of sports nutrition.

How do you feel about sports nutrition? Do you think that it is harmful to the body?
