Eating Before and During Your Workout Will Speed Fat Loss

This from Men’s Health:

What you eat before you go to the gym might make a big difference in transforming your body.

Drinking a protein shake before and during weight training may speed fat loss, say researchers at Syracuse University.

They found that people who drank a combination of amino acids and carbs had higher metabolic rates the next day compared with then they ate just carbs.

The extra protein may help lower the stress hormone cortisol, and that drop could boost your metabolism following exercise.
