Maintain a reasonable diet.
You could consult with a professional to get an excellent eating plan to match your goals and gym
activities.They will evaluate you based on your needs, and recommend a diet plan.
A good diet should have nutrients from all the food groups.
This is made up by 3 basic groups.
The first is carbohydrates.The energy source. The food that a person consumes should have vitamins, minerals and some fiber. A lot of this comes from oats, rice, potatoes, cereals and breads, and also from vegetables and fruits since these have chemicals, enzymes and micro-nutrients that are essential for a healthy diet.
The Second is Protein. The building blocks of muscle and essential organs.This comes from fish, chicken, red meat and dairy. Protein is broken down in the body to form amino acids for repair and
growth of new cells.
The third is fat. The enemy, according to most.There are 4 types of fat: Saturated (the bad) from animals, the more animal fat you consume the higher your blood cholesterol will rise, increasing the risk of a malfunction in the body.Should be taken in small quantities.Sources are: Beef, dairy, coconut oil.
Polyunsaturated (the good) Comes from plants, reduces blood cholesterol.
Sources are: nuts,fish, safflower oil, seeds, corn oil and sunflower oil.
Monounsaturated (the best) also comes from plants, raises the good cholesterol.
Sources are: Avocado,
olive oil, olives, nuts, canola oil and peanut butter.
Hydrogenated fatty acids (the ugly) This is relatively new, the effects are unknown, it is believed that they behave like saturated fat (the bad) causing blood cholesterol levels to rise.
The consumption of fats (the good fats) is important for our health. They are used in the production of hormones and other activities.We do need some fat, but do limit the bad.
A great way to help your efforts in the gym is to give up some detrimental habits such as smoking and drinking alcohol. Smoking damages the lungs and dramatically increases the risk of lung cancer along with other diseases. Excessive drinking has also been shown to causes major diseases.
These two habits are definitely not worth having around.
The best thing one can do for themselves is to quit any destructive habits they have and get into that gym, start pumping some iron and look forward to greater Health and Fitness.

How long into pregnancy before smoking and drinking can cause problems?
To be specific, how many days/weeks is it acceptable to continue to drink and/or smoke once your pregnant? I realize it is best to quit immediately but is it acceptable to continue for a month or two without risk to the baby? Thanks again, any advice or evidence to support claims is appreciated.

Thanks to those that have already responded
when having a child the first trimester is the most crucial; it is advised that no smoking or drinking be done during this time. For the sake of the child it is recommended that no smoking be done throughout the pregnancy; regarding alcohol the best rule of thumb is “everything in moderation” is acceptable therefore; a simple glass of wine (not a bottle) is acceptable. Regarding caffienated drinks it is recommended that you do no consume any because it will effect the heart rate especially in the first trimester; and absolutely no diet drinks. Diet drinks contain as-pertain which is very bad for developing babies. Drink root beer-there is no caffeine:)
I hope the answer i provided is helpful.
drinking/smoking before you know your pregnant?
Obviously, i’m a guy and i’m not pregnant. But i was wondering if someone should be deemed “irresponsible” for drinking before knowing they are pregnant? (before they exhibit symptoms)
I wasn’t trying for a baby and had no symptoms, was on the pill, and I had even gotten my December period. I got trashed NYE, was smoking 2 packs a day, and found out January 31st I was 5 weeks along. I don’t think I was irresponsible at all. I had no reason to believe I was pregnant.
RELIGIOUS PPL: does smoking and drinking and having sex before marriage make you any less holy?
Does smoking drinking having sex before marriage swearing etc really make you any less holy or less of a christian/muslim etc?. people can be these things and also be good people and good christians/muslims etc. its obviously looked down on in most religions but how do these things make you any less of a person you are? so why are things like these looked down on if they don’t affect the good inside of you?
yes it does it pollutes and corrupts the heart.
Is it true that you need to start smoking and drinking before joining the military?
I heard they won’t consider you as equals otherwise.
