Proteins<\/h2>\n

Les prot\u00e9ines, en plus de bien soutenir le corps, sont essential<\/a> muscle repair, as they help renew the body's cells.<\/p>\n

Which foods are rich in protein?<\/h3>\n

Protein is found mainly in animal-based foods, such as red meat, chicken, fish and cheese, but also in legumes and nuts.<\/p>\n

How much protein should I take?<\/h3>\n

It is recommended to take a minimum of 1 g of protein per pound. So a person weighing 140 lb should take more than 140 g of protein a day.<\/p>\n

Protein powder is an excellent tool to help you reach your daily protein requirement without having to eat meat 6x a day!<\/p>\n

What's the best protein powder?<\/h3>\n

The two main sources of protein supplements we recommend are whey isolate, the purest possible protein, and beef protein, which avoids dairy products altogether. Vegetable proteins such as pea protein and rice protein are also excellent vegan options. These different options can be combined with vegetables, fruit or even seeds to create delicious protein smoothies.<\/p>\n

Carbohydrates<\/h2>\n

Carbohydrates are converted into glucose and become the body's main source of energy.<\/p>\n

What's the difference between simple and complex carbohydrates?<\/h3>\n

There are two types of carbohydrates<\/a>. D’ailleurs, il est important de conna\u00eetre quels sont les bons et les mauvais glucides pour le corps.<\/p>\n

Where are simple carbohydrates found?<\/h3>\n

Simple carbohydrates are mainly sugar. They are found in fruit, syrups, honey, sugar, etc.<\/p>\n

What are complex carbohydrates?<\/h3>\n

Complex carbohydrates are made up of starches and fibers. They are found in rice, potatoes, bread, pasta, legumes, etc.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lipids<\/h2>\n

What is a lipid?<\/h3>\n

Lipids, or fats, are necessary for the body to function properly, since they help synthesize hormones, speed up metabolism and are a significant source of energy for the body.<\/p>\n

What are fatty foods?<\/h3>\n

Lipids are the fats found in foods such as fish, avocados, nuts, butter, cheese, eggs and so on.<\/p>\n

Which fats should I avoid?<\/h3>\n

As with carbohydrates, there are good fats and bad fats. When we talk about bad fats, we're talking mainly about trans fats, which are generally found in junk food.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
