A fresh blueberry or cranberry smoothie made with yogurt is good.

Thank you for the Before and After tips. What if you can not eat right after your exercise?

You should eat protein right after you exercise to gain muscle.

Not saying you are wrong Sayree, but some exercise experts recommend that you eat protein 1/2 hr to 1 hr after exercise.

What about people who don't have time for a full-length workout? Oftentimes people have to do 15 minute mini-workouts in between things throughout the day to fit in their exercise.

Sayree: I agree with you...e-diets has fast food alternatives for those of us who don't have the luxury of preparing healthy foods. DQ - VANILLA soft serve with NO SUGAR toppings. I would add some peanuts to make it an even healthier snack to aid my strength and muscle after my work out. I said from the get go last January, that it has to convienent for me, or I am doomed!! Also - all these articles cram Yogurt down your throat...what if you are allergic to the cultures in Yogurt???

Been doing this since the early 1980s. Little has changed: Expand the eating prohibition before strenuous workouts to two (2) hours. If you eat any meat products extend it to four (4) hours. Immediately before or during strenuous exercies, easily digestable protein drinks mixed with milk, fruit, especially bananas, low acid juice like apple juice (as opposed to high acid orange juice-is a no no), and water are perfect for the stomach and for replenishing nutrients. Thirty (30) minutes after strenuous exercies anything goes.

Seems to me that the recommendations are fat phobic. Nothing sustains me in the mountains or sea kayaking than a couple good swallows of olive oil or a couple pieces of raw bacon. 9 calories/gm v. 4 for carbs or protein.

It's all common sense. We don't need people to tell us how to eat before exercise. If you eat a six course meal before you exercise, you're going to vomit. Simple as that. Keep it light, keep hydrated and don't overdo it.

It's comforting to read these comments and know that 75% of the country didn't get past high school. You can't burn calories this way. Just look around the gym.

By the way... The sources of Protein listed are most likely not the best. Chicken and fish take the cake there, along with high whey protein shakes - after the workout is ideal. It is also important to keep in mind, that for hardcore pumpers, you're gonna want to keep high protein sources in your diet for pretty much all meals.

I like these so called experts describing when and what you eat before a yoga class. The Vedas which are a couple of thousand years old state that yoga is the be practised on an empty stomach

I'd like to know if this nutritionist follows her own advice and also how fit she is. It is not exactly ideal to be consuming ice cream after you work out or a bagel with cream cheese. When combining fats and carbohydrates in the same meal can lead to weight gain. On top of that, reifined sugars and white flour are not good for you. So if she is practing what she preaches, I'd like to see how fit she is.

I'm appalled that someone actually took things to a personal level and called the author retarded. Shame on you! The advice given is no different than that you'd find in the award winning Body For Life Series....unless you've developed and made millions off of the fitness and nutrition world and want to compare your physique with Bill Phillips and millions of his successful followers, I believe, however unlikely that you'd ever do such a thing, you owe the author an apology. Name calling...sheesh! Grow the f*ck up.

I must agree with Elizabeth M on the yogurt issue. I am unable to handle yogurt and, therefore, whenever I see it listed as a must have I go no further with the article. Is there a dietician out there with some imagination? People seem to think that everyone loves yogurt. What about the more than 50% (just guessing) that either don't like it or can't tolerate it?

Lol, if you're an MMA fighter you should disregard this entire article because it's not very useful. There are plently of better sources online than this to find specific information. Articles like this are generally for people who barely ever train or don't particularly care about the results.
