Consuming a carb like #PixyStix is a great way to replenish your glycogen levels. Either trying to gain weight or lose weight, #PixyStix are a great post workout supplement to aid muscle recovery!

•7 Pixy Stix, 5 grams of creatine immediately post workout.
•The Pixy Stix spikes your insulin levels
•Spiked insulin levels allows your body to more effectively absorb the creatine.

Pixy Stix are made out of dextrose. Dextrose is almost identical glucose. Glycogen is stored in your muscles and liver. Glycogen is just stored glucose. Working out uses up the stored glycogen, so it is important to replenish your glycogen levels after a workout.

After 2020 it is statically probable that the country is over 50% obesity and still getting worse

Let's Mandate exercise and eating healthy. Where are the ambassadors of Presidents Council of Fitness at? I remember growing up in the 80s seeing Arnold as the leader. Who is that leader today? I'm not privileged to be on that council although I was nominated in 2016. Sign me up

Do your research before buying any supplement! The supplement industry is completely unregulated! Companies are able to get away with straight bogus claims because they can say whatever they want on their packaging! Don’t get fooled, do your research! #supplements #health #fit

We all start somewhere in the gym.

A bag of cookies may contain 0.49 grams of trans fat per serving, and the packing is able to read “trans fat free.” Avoid #HydrogenatedOil because it contains #TransFat

[American Dream Fitness @AmericanDFit]

Avoid trans at at all cost! Trans fat is rarely found in nature and has been linked to many chronic diseases such as heart disease, insulin resistance, and chronic inflammation. Foods that are most commonly associated with trans fats are processed foods. #TransFat #ProcessedFood

[American Dream Fitness @AmericanDFit]

The @US_FDA has very loose guidelines when it comes to trans fat in products. For a product to be labeled “trans fat free” it must contain less then 1 gram per tablespoon, up to 7 percent by weight, or less then 0.5 grams per serving.

Who’s hitting the gym today? 🙋🏻‍♂️

[American Dream Fitness @AmericanDFit]

Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat soluble. Meaning, the body won’t properly break these vitamins down without a fat source. That is why it is important to eat a healthy source of fat when consuming vegetables. #VitaminA #VitaminD #VitaminE #VitaminK #FatSoluble #Vegetables

Regular exercise reduces food and drug cravings. It also increases heart rate variability and makes you more resistant to stress and depression. Regular exercise improves overall brain function. #stress #depression #food #cravings #BrainFunction #exercise @muscleforlife

You can’t outrun a bad diet. Your fitness goals should start in the kitchen. Get rid of the junk food and replace it with nutrient dense, whole foods. You will be amazed how the body will react when it is given the proper nutrients. #FoodIsFuel #fitness #health #diet

An example would be consuming 160 calories of almonds but your body only absorbs 130 of those calories. The other 30 calories are consumed by the bacteria in your intestines. #fiber #ImmuneSystem #guthealth

[American Dream Fitness @AmericanDFit]

There are two types of fiber. Soluble fiber and insoluble fiber. Both are extremely important to living a healthy life. An example of soluble fiber would be an apple and an insoluble fiber would be cellulose, which is the stringy stuff that is in celery.

[American Dream Fitness @AmericanDFit]

Soluble and insoluble fiber form a gel on the inside of the duodenum (the first section of the small intestine). This gel reduces the intestinal absorption by 25 to 30 percent, meaning your body doesn’t actually process all the calories you just consumed.
