The more you work out, the more muscle you build, which increases your metabolism. Therefore, you need food ASAP with a good mixture of carbs and protein to start the repair process. Shoot for something 30 minutes to an hour post-workout. A quick post-workout snack is a scoop of <u><a href=\"http:\/\/onnit.com\/dolce-whey\/?a_aid=dolce\" target=\"_balnk\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">whey protein isolate<\/a><\/u> with a piece of fruit, or Greek yogurt and berries. Then try to get in a full meal an hour or so after that.<\/p>\n<h3>Rewarding Yourself Too Much<\/h3>\n<p>Why undo everything you just did? You\u2019ve EARNED your food, so don\u2019t try to bribe yourself into doing certain exercises with the expectation of a reward at the end. The true reward is the results you develop. You\u2019re also not a child who needs tangible rewards. Self-gratification should be enough. So don\u2019t use your intense workout as an excuse to take down half a bag of Hot Cheetos. If you want to truly reward your body, give it what it deserves, which is quality, Earth-grown nutrients.<\/p>\n<h3>Waiting Too Long Between Sessions<\/h3>\n<p>Now, it is important not to overtrain. However, if Monday\u2019s workout made you sore, don\u2019t wait until the following Monday to go back once the soreness has subsided. One of the best things you can do for sore muscles is active recovery and keeping those muscles engaged, just at a lower intensity. I know when my legs are sore from leg day, I\u2019ll still do some air squats the following day just to get blood flowing in the area, and it helps reduce my overall muscle soreness. Yes, the first few reps are pretty tough, but you\u2019ll feel better and better the more you warm up.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/blog-divider-line.jpg\" alt=\"blog-divider-line\" width=\"620\" height=\"60\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/landing-uat.thedolcediet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/blog-divider-line.jpg 620w, https:\/\/landing-uat.thedolcediet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/blog-divider-line-300x29.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Join our online training program today!<br \/>\nGuaranteed results or your money back!<br \/>\nLose up to 21 pounds in 21 days!<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"\/sign-up\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-18079\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/sw2s-online-program-833x440.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"833\" height=\"440\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DOLCE DIET LIFESTYLE: Post-Workout Mistakes That Keep the Pounds On by Samantha Coogan, MS, RDN, LD Waiting Too Long to Eat Your body has just been through purposeful stress and is in need of recovery and repair.
