Wrong! See the thing is, if your goal is fat loss, you are mentally priming yourself to eliminate fat from the body. Good! But, this is where corporations capitalize because they know you are trying to loose weight, they immediately market a low-fat product making you think it is OK or healthy. As a consumer you need to be very weary of nutritional labels so you don’t make mistakes on your diet when it comes to loosing weight or gaining muscle. Products labeled low fat are generally less healthy than the products that have full fat in them! Why is this you ask? That is because fat ads flavor to certain processed food, without that fat it takes away flavor. So to make up for it, the company will usually put more processed sugar (carbs) and added chemicals to improve the balance of “healthy” to flavor. So you in FACT are getting something low-fat, but you just replaced the fat for a high processed sugar content which is inevitably 
WORSE. All those sugars (carbs) are going to spike your insulin pretty fast and if you are not active during the time of metabolism of those sugars, it will all be stored in your body as FAT ANYWAY! The moral is to watch your out for food labels and pay attention to what you are putting into your body. If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is!

bookmark_borderSupercompensation – Proper training timing
Big word, simple meaning. The term supercompensation refers to your body’s ability to advance its fitness levels over time. The chart explains this best. You start at a base level of fitness. As you train, your base level of fitness decreases due to fatigue from the workout. After the workout is over, your body goes into a recovery phase where it repairs itself. NOW, this is the most important part; during the recovery phase your body then goes into supercompensation, where it is compensating for the fatigue you placed on it from the previous workout, and the body will surpass your original baseline of fitness. It is at this time when you need to train again to further your base line for fitness and improvements. If you miss this supercompensation point, you are essentially starting from exactly where you left off with ZERO improvements. Generally, it takes about 24-48hrs for the body to properly recover and reach this supercompensation phase. So the take away message for this is that if you are working out and have a goal, you need to be CONSISTENT! If you are training random days of the week and with too much rest days in between training sessions, you are just going in circles. Make sure your routine is consistent and has set times and days so you can really gauge your improvements over time.
