To achieve optimim results from training, it is necessary that you must supply your body with all the correct vitamins and minerals as well as enough of the major components of the diet being proteins, carbohydrates and fats. These are called the 'macro-nutrients' of the diet as they are needed in much larger amounts compared to the micro-nutrients' being the vitamins, minerals and other biological substances which are needed in much smaller amounts in the diet than are the 'macro-nutrients', but are found present in different amounts accompanying the macro-nutrients in food. It is true that the majority of the micro-nutrients are already present in the food types that make up the macro-nutrients, but hard-training bodybuilders do require much more than food can provide in terms of the micro-nutrients which can be eliminated from foods through cooking. In addition, with the stresses of training the body feeds on a large amount of the micro-nutrients in growth and repair of body tissues, and higher levels are required at amounts that could not be supplied by food alone, and so are taken via a few pills from a health-food store. These supplements should be taken at breakfast, no doubtedly the most importmant meal of the day, so DONT SKIP IT. After having slept for a few hours, your blood sugar level is low, and the body needs to access materials to help raise these levels. Your muscles can be accessed to raise blood sugar levels which is the exact opposite to what we want which is building muscles (anabolism) i.e. BODYBUILDING!, so Breakfast is now your number one priority. Therefore, as you can see, a good breakfast is an extremely important meal, which should include milk, an egg-white omelette and complex carbohydrates including rice, which boost blood sugar levels steadily as they are digested. So make sure you give yourself sufficient time in the morning for breakfast otherwise visible results on training will be slow. Some people may not have much of an appetite at first, but as long as you eat something good for breakfast (even if it's only a banana), then don't worry, because your appetite can be your guide, and will probably increase along with gains from your training. Why the appetite increase? Because your body has more muscle tissue to nourish as your training progresses.Many people may benefit greatly from extra vitamin B-complex supplementation, and also extra vitamin C. The B-complex vitamins and vitamin C are water soluble vitamins and so are not stored to any great extent within the body, but are used up quickly in general tissue metabolism and VERY much so when your muscles are growing !!! Therefore, it would be a good idea to try supplementing with extra B-complex and C vitamins in the morning and before sleep, and perhaps before your workout that day. When using high levels of vitamins such as this, remember to take in extra amounts of water / fluids which may come from just drinking water (recommend bottled water) or water used in making brand-name carbohydrate sports drinks and for mixing your creatine with. Consuming a couple of litres of fluid each day may be enough for some, not enough for others. Optimum hydration is required to flush out waste products from the body tissues that lower levels of fluid intake could not accomplish. So remember, train hard and be strong !!!
