Drying, or, in other words, driving off excess weight, is aimed at giving the muscles of the body the desired shape and relief. Sports nutrition for weight loss helps this, because it supplies muscle tissue useful for its growth and recovery by substances that are necessary for muscles during the drying period. Let's enumerate the complex of the basic preparations of a sports nutrition necessary for drying and relief formation of muscles.
Sports nutrition and muscle drying
- So-called BCAAs are amino acids with branched side chains, or essential amino acids. These are valine, isoleucine and leucine. These amino acids our body can not synthesize independently - hence their name. When the body is in a state of energy decline, it is amino acids with side chains that are used by him as a direct source of energy - it is released from BCAA directly into muscle tissue. Increased consumption of BCAA occurs during the period of fasting, or during training, lasting without interruption for more than two hours. Amino acids with side chains are actively used in sports nutrition for weight loss, because they are able to perfectly protect muscle fibers from destruction - thereby helping to get the muscles the desired relief. Reception: for the first portion (5-10 grams) before and after training.
- Glutamine is the next important element of sports nutrition for weight loss. It is an amino acid, most of which the body produces itself. The level of glutamine and the rate of synthesis of muscle protein are directly related to each other: the more free glutamine in the blood, the faster muscle cells grow. Glutamine helps to produce the body the so-called growth hormone, which accelerates the metabolism of fats and promotes the recovery and growth of muscle tissue. However, in sports nutrition glutamine is used not only for drying muscles and giving them relief. This amino acid protects muscle tissue from decay, strengthens the immune system, and also maintains the body's acid balance and increases glycogen stores. Admission: 5-10 grams (1 portion) before and after training and after it and 1 serving before bedtime.
- Carnitine is an amino acid that is close in properties to the vitamins of group B. It is synthesized by the body itself (in contrast to vitamins) and is therefore called a vitamin-like substance. Carnitine splendidly splits fats with subsequent energy production, so in sports nutrition, it is primarily used to burn unnecessary fat and dry muscle during weight loss. In addition, carnitine increases stamina, and also increases muscle mass and strength. Preparations, equal in value to carnitine, in sports nutrition is very small. For the weight loss program, it is indispensable - as confirmed by the athletes using it. Carnitine is available in liquid form and in the form of capsules. Liquid carnitine, due to high digestibility, is much more effective. Reception: 1 serving half an hour before the workout.
- Thermogenics is another group of drugs used in sports nutrition as fat burners. The intake of thermogenics is capable of raising body temperature from 0.5 to 2 degrees. They really accelerate the metabolism and reduce the amount of subcutaneous fat, without affecting the muscle mass. Application: with water, 1 capsule twice a day - before meals and before training.
- Protein isolate (isolated whey protein) is another sports supplement necessary for those who want to lose weight and give their muscles the desired relief. About 95% of this protein is whey protein. Whey protein almost instantly absorbed by the body and perfectly protects muscle tissue from decay. Reception: in the morning, during the day, after training and before bedtime - for 1 portion.
