    I'd go with water. Not too much though, you'll be surprised how much juice comes from the veg once it's blended.

    Depends.

    For one person it is, for another person it isn't. Needs context.

    hi everyone i'm new here this is my first post first off I'd like to say thanks for all the great info I'm 5'10 and 165 pounds I'm trying to lose body fat % and have more lean muscle I live a good 40 minutes away from the boxing gym with traffic I've been taking a sliced apple with almond butter is that a good snack for getting me through until i make it home?

    and also after i work out is it best just to eat mostly veggies then some meat and go easy on carbs for decreasing body fat?

    any help at all is greatly appreciated

    I started my nutrition by buying supplements from my local supermarket
    i bought a multivitamins & minerals complex from sainsburys and a joints supplement

    the problem i have is that i am lactose intorelant hence I took little amount of calcium when I was little thus the joints makes a popping sound whenever I do training

    is there any solution for that? any diet i can go on

    Great thread, I'm just curious why a lot of you are cutting carbs? I'm a nutrition major, but new to the world of boxing(3 months training) and I have upped my carb intake... However it is in whole grains and fruit etc.

    If you are an athlete training in anaerobic containing sport(boxing, weight lifting, sprinting, etc), you will need carb intake to match these activity levels and allow recovery. This will also replenish glycogen and avoid catabolism. Fruit, root vegetables, and white rice are best. These are the most toxin-free. I would recommend a general avoidance of whole grains as they contain many anti-nutrients that can damage the lining of your intestine and cause a constantly low level of inflammation.

    Yes to all of those points. Match calorie intake to activity levels and minimize food toxins (grains, legumes, processed oils).
