L-Glutamine is one of our essential amino acids responsible for muscle growth, healing tissue and coping with inflammation!
It is one of the amino acids your body needs from food or supplementation …
( essential …non essential …)
In body building we are taking about 5grams of L-Glutamine per day while on a low calorie/ lower carbohydrate diet in order to maintain muscle while losing body fat.
L-Glutamine has also be known to help heal ulcers, speed up recovery after surgery, ease muscle soreness after a tough workout and increase strength as well as endurance in Athletes!
You can’t go wrong in L- Glutamine supplementation since it is water soluble and does not cause harm in the body if taken in larger dosage!
L-Glutamine is available in powder form and capsules!
Take before and after a workout as well as before bed time while dieting!

I know this has nothing to do with my profession…
I love animals!
I love animals of all kind!!!
It hurts my heart to see animals get hurt, especially for some stupid profit…
Breaking a dogs legs and throwing it in a gage with starved, beaten and angry other dogs so someone can count the seconds and make a profit to see how long it takes until this puppy is being ripped apart is just not going over well with me!!!
Sorry, but you are a coward and need to be locked away for life!
I am donating my blogs to animal foundations to help save these little beautiful creatures life’s….
If you deside to like my blogs, please donate $1 !!!
Money will go to several animal foundations dealing with the abuse of these babies.
But even if you do not want to donate on this site, please research for yourself!
This abuse must stop!!!
1: Keep it Natural
Strive for 7-9 fruits and vegetables …more veggies
than fruit.
2: Let Form Follow Function
Maintaining your ideal weight is important for all
around health, whether you’re a couch potato or an
Athlete!
Adjust your caloric intake to your performance!
3: Balance your Energy Source
Don’t overemphasize one macronutrient!
4: Gorge on Free Radical Fighters
Your antioxidant defenses won’t work to their full
potential unless you maintain a diet that is rich in
Antioxidants!
5: Eat Frequently
Eating six meals per day is a dietary pattern that is
proven to assist athletes in getting leaner!
6: Train on a Full Tank!!!
Never train on an empty stomach…
It impares performance and burns muscle!
7: Hydrate
Failure to fully rehydrate between workouts will
Compromise your recovery and performance!
Water also delivers oxygen to every cell in your
Body
8: Eat for Recovery!
Nutrition is required to help rebuild and refuel your
Muscles.
9: Avoid Common Deficiencies
Deficiencies have negative consequences on
Performance and health in general!
B Vitamines… Reduced athletic performance
Calcium …increased susceptibility to bone strains and
Stress fractures
Iron…. Fatigue, anemia
Omega 3 …. May compromise recovery
10: reward yourself!
Stick to the plan, keep your weight of, get a treat 🙂

We see it every day….
Very heavy people doing 5000 abdominal crunches day by day in the hope of getting that six pack.
I hear it from my clients that are still overweight: ” we need to do more core, cause that’s where I need it!!!”
My question to you is….
Have you ever seen a overweight or obese person with a six pack???
….me neither!
Abs don’t show until you are in the teens in body fat!
There is no magic to it!
Abs are made in the kitchen, not the gym!
Once you are in the lower body fat, you can start bringing them out more…but until then core workouts help with spinal stabilization to support your back!
A strong core will increase overall strength and stability!
So remember 5000 crunches a day will only tighten up your hip flexors….
Stick to core exercises that include planks and other stabilizing exercises!
You also work your core every time you work with weights!!!
Eat clean and stick to the plan for a nice tight middsection 🙂
Being at a certain weight is important of course…
Our Heart muscle doesn’t care whether your weight comes from muscle or fat!
It still has to pump harder through more tissue…
Weight loss is easy 🙂
You starve yourself to lower your scale weight, usually losing muscle while body fat increases!!!
Instead of focusing on scale weight, try to think how you would like to look in those shorts, or bikini ?!
Overtraining without proper nutrition will leave your body flabby and lose…
Number one focus should be again nutrition!
Feed your muscle proper to keep losing body fat while holding on to muscle.
Proper supplementation is important as well.
BCAA’S , L-Glutamine, a good Multivitamin, anything that helps feed your body and prevent malnutrition while dieting!!!
Lift weights!!!
It takes many years to build a hughe amount of muscle even if you think your body is different 😉
Keep cardio in but don’t over do this!
Cardio longer than one hour at the time will cause muscle loss!!
Make sure to eat within one hour of exercising!
Sooner is better!
Keep your protein high to help repair muscle tissue!
Keep good carbs in your diet ( we need balance)
Don’t cut your good fats!
Cardio in high heart rates = more carbs
Cardio in low heart rates = less carbs
Just remember that your brain needs 90 grams of carbohydrates just to function normally….
Get away from thinking pounds and start thinking dress sizes and body fat 🙂
