About Me

My photo
I'm someone who has been around gyms for a longer time than I can remember.... I got certified as a Personal Training Specialist, few years ago, in Montreal, Canada.....Honestly, this certification, except for the fact that it had opened a door for me to get involved in the fitness industry, had added nothing to my knowledge...through the years that I have worked with fitness clients and fitness professionals I have learned that a lot of them knew very little about fitness and nutrition; that made me eager to help people, in any way possible, to achieve their fitness goals and improve their well-being.... Basically, that's one of the main reasons which made me start this blog.... In closing, I would like to say that I'm not a WRITER who decided to start a blog about fitness just because all the other topics were taken...Actually it's the other way around.

Always know what's on your food



Eggs: concerns linking them to dietary cholesterol are a bit over exaggerated, so you can probably eat more eggs than you think. You gonna  be having 6-7 grams of protein in one large size egg(70 calories, fat:5g, carbs:1g, protein 6g) and guess what, egg yolk contains  9  essential amino acids. Amino acids are considered the fundamental building blocks of our tissues and the singular component of protein (check the link on the right side of the page to learn  more about amino acids)

Oatmeal: the perfect complex carbohydrates that you can have before training. It gives you a large amount of energy for an intense workout. In 100 grams(68 calories, fat:1.4g, carbs:12g, protein:2.4g)

Plain greek yogurt(zero fat):  a good source of  protein, in 100 grams(fat:0.4g, carbs:3.6g, protein:10g), and a great post workout food especially when mixed with 2Tbs of honey and a scoop of whey protein. Greek yogurt is a natural alternative for supplement vitamin B12, it's also packed with probiotics and high in potassium  (check the  link on the right side of the page to learn more about probiotics)

Banana: the best fruit to be consumed after a workout, With 400mg of potassium and 25grams of carbs nothing can beat that as a recovery food after an intense workout

Almond:  don't have chocolate for a snack between meals, have a hand full of almonds instead. Scientific researches have shown that consuming 40 grams(230 calories, fat:19.6g, carbs:8.8g, protein:8.8g) of almonds on a regular basis  may reduce you're bad cholesterol levels (LDL) and lower the risk of heart related diseases.
