food is equally important as exercise and recuperation in the process
of maintaining, transforming or shaping the body. The Euro-Gym: Mind
& Body Shaping book (included in the Euro-Gym Package) contains
many valuable tips and complete diet suggestions applicable to the
various levels of exercises you choose. Below are some excerpts from
the book. |

When muscles are loaded and challenged for change, the
need for protein is increasing. Research has shown that amino acids
(the building blocks of protein) are much more than just building
material of muscle cells but also important in healing. We must heal
the muscles because exercise causes them micro-injuries - that is
a natural thing. Through exercising we always retrain or rebuild the
ability of the body to heal. |
Many consider the egg as a basic source
of protein.However, the yolk also contains fats.It is recommended
that if you eat 3 eggs; choose 2 egg whites and 1 complete egg. Similarly,
separate the skin from the chicken breast (if possible, even before
you cook it) to eliminate the fat contained in the skin.
Carbohydrates also deliver healthy energy to the working muscles.
The body prefers to function on a moderate level of blood sugar. Natural
carbohydrates such as vegetables and fruits are preferable. Refined
carbohydrates found in candies, white rice, bread and soft drinks
quickly increase blood sugar (and simultaneously insulin) and are
not recommended.

You have to avoid the most hydrogen-jammed
fats, the saturated fats, such as pork fat or chicken skin. But eat
the good fats regularly, combined with a good source of protein such
as fish.
Keep proper intervals between meals. For keeping the metabolism continuously
running, you have to eat every 3-3.5 hours. If you eat healthy 6 days
a week, the seventh day can be ‘free dining’ time, without
any disadvantage.
