Protein Rule Number 2

I liked this bit from page 9 of the Combat the Fat Nutrition Guide. I've always thought protein was important. It's also important when you take it.

Protein Rule #2 : Consume 2 SERVINGS Of Protein Immediately After Your Workouts

When you train hard with a program like you’ll be using in the Combat The Fat program, you’re causing microfibrial damage to your muscle cells.

Don’t worry...that’s a GOOD thing because you’re training your muscles to build up stronger to be able to handle the extra workload you’re throwing at it.

That repair process will help you build more muscle, increase in strength, AND burn more fat.

And IMMEDIATELY after a workout, your muscles are BEGGING for some additional “support” to begin the recovery process so they need MORE PROTEIN than usual.

While your body can usually only break down and use about 30-40 grams or so of protein per meal, it can actually handle up to about 25% of your total daily protein requirement in its “SUPER-NEEDY” state right after your workouts.

So by consuming 2 SERVINGS of protein IMMEDIATELY after your workouts, you’re supplying your muscles with the proper supply of amino acids it needs to maximize its recovery
