6 Foods to Avoid before Heading to the Gym

Are you surprised to find out that there are some certain foods that should be avoided by people who are planning on working out in the nearest couple of hours?

5. Spicy foods

How sensitive are you to spices? Do they cause heartburn? This is what may happen to those who are about to work out. People who eat Thai or Indian food the night before their workout routine feel worse than when they avoid such spicy foods. Seasoning and flavor require too much time to be digested by your body. The wisest decision is to eat chicken, fish or turkey without any spices at all. Do not add salt either since the very next morning you will wake up heavier and all swollen due to water retention. Of course, artificial additives should not be added to your food.

6. Protein bars

Marketing experts know how to make us pay money. Do not believe that you are buying protein if it looks like a bar of chocolate. Protein bars are packed with carbs. Sugars are not recommended for people who keep track of their diet or trying to lose weight. If a protein bar is the only option, then at least find a version with the highest content of protein and lowest amount of carbs and fats.
