Eat Yourself Fitter

Nutrition and exercise scientist Kathleen Alleaume has the skinny on eating for the figure you want - and it doesn't involve losing weight...

1. Don't Skip Meals	Eating inconsistently is a sure-fire way to annoy your body. Most people only see 'results' from skipping meals for so long before their body fights back and hoards fat, as it doesn't know when the next meal is coming. Starving yourself also makes you tired. 'People who come to the gym when they're running on empty usually find they can't muster the energy to train hard, so they don't lose weight,' says Alleaume. 'Eat one serving of carbohydrates two to four hours before your workout,' she says. 'Something like a wholegrain sandwich or bowl of muesli.'
2. Low-GI Carbs Are Good - Get Over It!
3. Monitor The Amount Of Protein You Eat
4. Understand GI
5. Leave Energy Bars For The Athletes
6. Forget Weight-Loss Pills
