Beginners Workout Mythbusters – part 2
Ok, the post that i planed for some time (but got sidetracked by my little rant about getting your own research done for your workout diet)... Unlike the first beginners workout mythbusters post, this one will be more focused on your workout diet and busting some "conventional wisdom" surrounding it.
Beginners Workout Myth no.3
"I'm subscribed to a bunch of different health and fitness magazines, so i don't need to do any other research regarding what i eat."
FALSE
Always do your own research and testing to see what works best for you. When fitness magazines tell you what is good for you, in 95%, they are trying to sell you something... And yes, internet can be a good enough source of information, just make sure you are getting it from credible sources.
Beginners Workout Myth no.4
"My workout diet isn't really that important, as long as i work out hard enough and often enough."
FALSE
People say different aproximates what kind of impact your diet has on your workout (both when loosing weight and gaining muscle) ranging from 70-90%, but i don't think you can give it a percentage rate... I think of it more as a solid foundation upon which you can then start building. The more solid your "diet foundation" will be, the faster you will be able to build further upon it.
Beginners Workout Myth no.5
"If I want to build big muscles i have to stuff myself with my whey protein powder all the time."
FALSE
If you really want to build some muscle you will need more than just your whey powder. While it has its benefits, being very simple and fast to prepare/use, you are better of ditching it and making yourself a nice big piece of meat and/or some eggs.
