Should you eat before and after a workout?

Hey guys!

Cheap Clean Eats is baaaaack! It’s been a while. SORRY. Life has been crazy and also you wouldn’t believe it, but food videos are just so much more difficult and timely to film than workout videos! But in normal everyday activities, I’ve still been cooking at home and also experimenting a lot with some pre and post workout snacks, especially in the citrus department! Why? Because it’s naturally hydrating AND the vitamin C content helps support my immune system year round! (Can you believe I did not get sick this past winter when everyone else around me had the flu? CRAZY!)

There’s a lot that goes into staying healthy…exercise, eating well, getting sleep, etc. Citrus is one food that makes me feel good and supports my health, which is why I’m really thrilled that Sunkist reached out to partner with me on these recipes because I legit drink lemon water EVERY SINGLE MORNING. It is how I start life daily!

DO YOU REALLY NEED A PRE OR POST WORKOUT MEAL?

Well, if you are feeling low energy and need a boost before your workout, then you may want to eat a pre workout snack! And if you are feeling super exhausted after a workout and can’t really function or move, you may want to eat a post workout snack to help replenish your energy and rebuild your muscles.

With that said, pre and post workout meals are a great thing! However, they are not necessary for everyone. Because all of our bodies are engineered differently, some people can work out while fasted while others may pass out if they do the same. Be smart and listen to your body. Eat if you feel you need the food to boost the potential of your workout!

PRE- WORKOUT SNACKS:

When choosing a pre workout snack, pick something that has carbohydrates to give you a quick boost of energy. If you’re having a larger meal, try to have it about 2 hrs before your workout so that you have time to digest. But if you’re short on time and are just having a snack, then depending on your body, 30 minutes before could be okay too!

Here are 3 all natural pre-workout snacks that you can eat to give you energy!

#1. Tropical Energy Smoothie

– 1 Sunkist Navel Orange

– 1 Banana

– 1/3 C frozen pineapples

#2. DIY Sports Drink

– 1/2 C water

– 1 C Coconut Water

– 1 Sunkist Lemon

– 1 TBS honey

– 1 pinch salt

or keep it simple and just keep it simple and eat…

#3. A whole fruit!

For example, a banana, an apple, an orange, a grapefruit, a nectarine, some berries. Whatever fruit you like!

POST-WORKOUT SNACKS:

When choosing a post workout snack, pick something with a good mix of protein and carbs. The protein will help rebuild your muscles. The carbs will help replenish your energy stores.

#1. Protein shake with a banana

#2. String cheese, almonds, and an orange

#3. Hummus and Veggies

If you want to see it all in action, check out my YouTube video featuring all of the snacks:

Hope this was helpful guys! Let me know if you typically eat before a workout or if you wait til later. I am curious what kinds of POPsters we have out there! Learn more about citrus health benefits and check out more really tasty recipes for inspiration on the Sunkist Citrus website: https://bit.ly/2EJt9Ii

Personally, for me, it depends on the day and what I’ve already eaten if I’m talking about having something before an evening workout. But when it comes to food before a morning workout, I usually don’t eat anything because I’m not hungry when I wake up. But I will gulp down tons of lemon water before I do anything!

When working out and eating clean aren’t enough.

Disclaimer: I wanted to be upfront and let you know that this post is sponsored by ZzzQuil. As usual, all thoughts & opinions are honest, and of course, my own! Enjoy!

Hey guys!

Everyone says that working out + eating clean = weight loss. It’s supposed to be that simple, right? Calories in minus calories out? Well that’s what I thought too. Until, I tried soooo hard to stick by that equation and wasn’t seeing the results I wanted.

So, I thought maybe I should work out longer! Maybe I should watch what I’m eating even more! Maybe throw in an extra session at the gym at night to burn some extra calories! But when doing more didn’t work either, I was stumped. Disappointed in myself. And so so confused. 

After doing intense research, reading books, talking to medical doctors, and learning from naturopathic doctors, I was able to uncover some things that were secretly sabotaging my results. One thing I didn’t even consider?

I WASN’T SLEEPING ENOUGH.

What? Sleep? Huh?

When I realized that, I was like wait. I was so hesitant to believe this could have any impact on my results. It sounded way too easy. I thought the more I slept, the less time I had to be productive! But you know what? As weird as that sounds, lack of sleep really was something that was holding me back. Lack of sleep was stressing me out, and the stress helped cause my weight loss plateau! So when I finally put in more effort to get to bed before 12am (I used to get to bed at 3am or 4am), my body started functioning again.

So, why do we need sleep for weight loss?

#1. When you don’t sleep enough, you tend to overeat!

Researchers from Columbia University released a study of 26 healthy men and women that showed that sleep deprived people (4 hours of sleep nightly for 6 nights) ate more calories than well rested people (9 hours of sleep nightly for 6 nights).  Sleep deprived women ate an excess of 329 calories per day and sleep deprived men ate 263 extra calories per day…and most of those extra calories came from foods like ice cream and fast food! Disruptions to sleep stimulate the hormone ghrelin, which then makes you hungry!

#2. Lack of sleep hinders muscle growth!

Scientists from Brazil found that when you don’t sleep enough, your body’s ability to make muscle (protein synthesis) is greatly diminished! And guess what? Since the American Council on Exercise says that 1 lb. of muscle burns 7-10 calories per day while 1 lb. of fat burns only 2-3 calories a day, you miss out on the extra caloric burn when have you less muscle on your body.

#3. Sleep debt = stress = lower belly fat

When you don’t sleep enough, you are automatically putting your body in a state of stress. And when you’re stressed, your body will release a hormone called cortisol, which has been linked to the accumulation of excess abdominal fat in the lower belly as proven by a study done at Yale University.

As you can see, the links between sleep and the way your body functions are clear. So now the question is…how can you get more sleep in this fast-paced world of nonstop email and social media? Well, make sleep a priority! The same way you schedule in your workouts and take the time to cook your healthy meals, put some energy into preparing for bed. 

If you’re looking for ways to wind down naturally, here are 6 things that could help you!

#1. Try ZzzQuil PURE Zzzs Melatonin Gummies!

If my mind is racing and I can’t get myself to go bed for an important early call time the next day, these are my go-to so I can make sure I fall asleep naturally and wake up feeling READY! ZzzQuil recently came out with these super yummy, vegan, vegetarian, and drug free, melatonin gummies that can help you fall asleep naturally and wake refreshed*!  The Wildberry Vanilla flavor is delish. Plus it is gluten free!

#2. Put your phone away from your bed!

This one is obvious. It’s distracting. It’s bright. It keeps you up. Put it away and allow your eyes and your mind to wind down.

#3. Calm yourself with Vicks PURE Zzzs Soothing Aromatherapy Balm.

A great add to your nighttime routine that is made with a blend of essential oils, you can massage this on your chest, neck and back at night. The soothing lavender and chamomile scents make me instantly feel like I am at a spa which relaxes me right away. Plus it moisturizes and makes your skin feel super soft!

#4. Read a book.

But like, on actual paper! The light from my phone often makes it hard to fall asleep at night. Reading a book is calming and puts my mind at ease. Plus it’s nice to squeeze in a little night time knowledge!

#5. Dim the lights and stretch!

Really, get away from the bright lights! Maybe just light some candles or dim the lights in your bedroom if you can. Create a safe space for you to be calm. You need to prepare for bed like you prepare for anything else. Sometimes light stretching on your bed can calm your tight muscles after a long day. You’ll be so ready to lie down and rest!

#6. Try  ZzzQuil  for jetlag.

On the occasional night when I cannot get to bed (the crazy jetlag type of nights) I take ZzzQuil instead of the ZzzQuil PURE Zzzs Melatonin Gummies since it helps me fall asleep fast in as little as 20 minutes! When I’m traveling, I don’t have time or energy to waste on readjusting to time zones. Because I have to be up early, ready to teach hundreds – sometimes even thousands of students for a big class – my sleep is always a constant priority!

I hope this article brings some light into your search for answers! If you’re at a plateau, I think the coolest thing is that I’m not telling you that you have to do something crazy strenuous to see a change. All I am saying is to give sleeping a try :) I don’t think most of us could complain about that right!?

Big thank you to ZzzQuil for sponsoring this blog post!

Unhealthy Relationships: the kinds you can’t get out of

Hey guys,

I’m on a flight to the East Coast right now and I’m not feeling good. Lately, a lot of things have been bothering me. Most of them – well, maybe all of them – are because of people. I spent the Uber ride silently crying and then the first part of this flight with tears rolling down my cheeks.

I’m been doing a lot of self work on my own emotions because I know that I shouldn’t let others have power over how I feel. I know that I can’t control my environment but I can control my reactions. It’s one thing to know this…but it’s a whole ‘nother thing to truly live it.

You see, I think my problem is that I have some unhealthy relationships in my life. But I stick with them because these people aren’t just strangers or acquaintances that I can easily excommunicate. Some of these people are blood related or we have some deeply rooted history. So…it’s complicated.

I am not crying because other people are making me upset. No. It’s never anyone else’s fault really. The fault is always with me. Especially if I want to give myself the power to change things up. It’s my responsibility.

So, what’s my fault? My fault is that I set expectations for people. And when they don’t meet them, I get really disappointed. In fact, it’s more than disappointment. Because these people are such a big part of my life, what actually happens is heart break. And then a slow hardening and almost blackening of my heart.

You see, I am well aware that my problem is this: I keep setting the same expectations for the same people who have never been able to meet them (or they’ve only met them on occasion). I want people to be better, to be nicer, to be more considerate, to be more respectful, to be more grateful, and to be more caring. I am not asking anyone to be someone they are not. But I am asking them to be better versions of themselves.

Is it bad of me to want that? Am I asking too much?

Maybe it’s just my personality to want to continually be a better person everyday. But I understand that that is not everyone’s goal. Maybe some people think they’re fine just where they are and that there is nothing they need to change. And you know what? I’m not anyone’s parent (except for Sir George’s) so I really have no right to tell people how they need to grow. So I get that.

I just don’t get people who aren’t open to reaching their potential. People who knowingly or unknowingly self-sabotage because it’s “comfortable.”

Maybe my problem is that I am not surrounding myself with the types of people who think, live, and love more like me. Or maybe I’m totally missing something. And if so, someone, please tell me straight to my face! I would LOVE to know what I am getting wrong here.

Sometimes you can choose the people you want to surround yourself with and sometimes you can’t – because you are born into it. That’s when things get sticky, muddy, emotional and just downright nonsensical.

Over and over again, I try to have “truth talks” where I voice how much the other person is hurting me but I am met with defense. Why am I always willing to be at fault – willing to change – willing to say that I am sorry – when others cannot simply open their minds to hear me?

I don’t know guys. I’m getting exhausted. It’s really tiring to keep compensating for people’s actions, especially when I feel like I have to be perfect for everyone else. Do you know what I mean? I get BERATED, HARASSED, and BULLIED if I do one little thing that someone didn’t like. But it’s fine. Because it has to be. I’ve taught myself how to turn my missteps into lessons. I just can’t say the same for everyone else. Maybe it’s something they should teach in school.

Anyway guys, I will continue self-work on controlling my reactions. I just don’t really know how to deal with people close to me who keep defending their hurtful actions. I am not really sure what to do.

The Best Workout for Aries!

Happy Aries season!

I’m extra excited about the particular workout I have planned for you guys because it’s something I haven’t released in a long time! I used to do a lot of treadmill running but stopped after a while to try other forms of cardio off the machine. But trust me, treadmills are legit SHREDmills. They work. So good for burning fat, sculpting your thighs, and building your booty. Even if you’re not an Aries, I highly recommend that you try this workout out!

Your sweat horoscope:

You’re a actionable type of person with a quick and competitive personality! You’ve got a lot of energy and you like to go HARD! You love beating your PR (and the person next to you). So your perfect workout is one that pushes your limits because you LOVE breaking out of your comfort zone.

Bring this 30 minute treadmill workout with you to the gym. It has a warmup and cool down already built in, plus we’ll be working on your speed, your inner and outer thighs as well as your butt! This workout is intense but effective. Make sure to pay attention to the incline and the speed. If you need to adjust for yourself, feel free to do so!

Also, this is what the side shuffle looks like! Place your hands on one side of the rail and then shuffle your legs like this as the treadmill runs. It can kind of be “scary” at the beginning but just go slow! It’s amazing for sculpting your inner and outer thighs!

You can get this plus all my other pins on Pinterest! Hope you enjoyed the workout. What’s your sign and when’s your b-day!?
