Hi! This is Stephen from iloveweightloss.co.uk. Today, we’ll answer a question that actually
was posted on the Facebook wall, which was how do we train and how do we eat? So what
I thought I’d do is give you an example of exactly what I did yesterday. I mean, I
don’t expect you to do this exact same thing. I do try to practice what we preach. So don’t
feel that you have to do exactly what I do, but it’s just maybe hopefully interesting
for you to see exactly what I do.So I got up yesterday at 6 AM. I then had a six egg
omelet. I had some mushrooms in there. I think I also had some spinach. I then went to work
out at 7. I find that I have no problem now. I’ve kind of trained myself to be able to
still exercise, having just eaten. So that’s never a problem for me. I also had some supplements.
So I had my D3. I had 5,000 and I use a D3. I also had some Glutamine. I also had some
extra fiber. I had some psyllium husk. I also had my fish oil. Then I went to work out,
like I said, at 7. I worked out. It took about 45 minutes. I had a protein shake after I
worked out and then I drove – I was training with my brother, I should say, and we drove
to the DVCC in Bedford where we have some stuff to do there and do general work. Whereupon,
I also had a snack in the midmorning. I think that must have been at about 11 AM. So the
snack was, if I remember correctly, I had some gluten-free sausages, and I think I had
spinach as well.I then had lunch, which were some meats and some cabbage. I’m enjoying
my cabbage at the moment. I always try to make sure I make a concerted effort I do have
enough vegetables. That’s one thing I always discover, that a lot of people don’t have
enough vegetables. It’s one of those things. If you’re having the right sort of vegetables
– cabbage, dark, green, leafy vegetables – you cannot overeat them. No one ever put
on body fat from having too much fibrous green vegetables. So never worry about that and
always kind of increase. You can always increase the amount that you have. I also had some
Carnitine and some more Glutamine. I make a concerted effort to have a lot of Glutamine
daily because I know that it’s very important for the immune system. And because when I’m
getting up quite early and getting home quite late, your immune system can take a knock.
I think it’s quite important that you keep that up.So then I had another little snack
in the afternoon. I think it was about 3 o’clock. I’m trying to remember what I had then.
I think I had a Super Shake, actually. Yes, I had a Super Shake. I had one with almond
butter and chocolate protein shake and things like that. I was just in the DVCC again that
evening. So I actually didn’t get home until – I think I didn’t get home until just
after nine, actually, last night, where I actually had some steak, some steak and vegetables.A
lot of people kind of fear eating late, but in my experience, it’s untrue. People shouldn’t
fear eating late. Actually, if you’re looking at having carbohydrates, a lot of people have
them at breakfast, which is the wrong time of day to have them. You should actually have
them in the evening and they help you sleep. I did. Again, I had lots of cabbage and I
had some steak. And I was very fortunate, I had that cooked for me by my girlfriend,
actually. But I still ate. I think it was half past nine then. I had some Magnesium
to help me sleep and to calm me down. I also had some Glutamine and I also had some more
fiber.So, I’m training five times a week at the moment. I train first thing in the
morning and I find getting it done then for me, means that I don’t stress about needing
to do it because obviously a lot of different stuff can pop up during the day and I find
that I’m good at training at that time in the morning, and I always, always have my
breakfast.Again, these are just habits that I’ve built into my life. They weren’t
easy at first, but I’ve built them in. So I’m not super human in any way. I’m not
super regimented more than anyone. I don’t have more will power. But I just built these
habits in over time, and so now they are second nature. So, hopefully that gave you a bit
of an idea about how – a lot of the trainers, all the DVCC trainers, we all live very similar
sort of lifestyles. Some things are obviously different. The times we train and things like
that. But we all kind of live the same sort of healthy lifestyle that we try to promote.
So, hopefully you’ve found maybe some inspiration or at least some sort of idea of some things
that you can incorporate into your own lifestyle. I’ll see you next time! Thanks.
