Whatever your personal goals for your workout, it’s important that you fuel your body properly to get the most out of it. But with the typical UK diet being very carb-heavy, with around 200-300g of carbohydrates per day, it’s not surprising that many of those who exercise are highly dependent on carbs for their energy – often leading to crashes when glycogen stores are depleted during prolonged exercise.
However, as many people who follow a low carb approach already know, the superior source of energy actually comes from fat, of which we typically have tens of thousands of calories worth of stored energy – making it the more efficient fuel for sustained energy, strength and endurance. When you follow a low carb approach, such as Atkins, your body’s metabolism switches to burning fat for energy (a process called ketosis); so you can train harder, for longer – and ultimately achieve more from your workout.
As the low carb experts for over 40 years, Atkins is far more than just a diet plan. Their range of low carb, low sugar bars contain 15g-21g of protein and can help with the post workout recovery process by providing essential amino acids and healthy fats – making them are the ideal accompaniment to your low carb lifestyle. Available in a range of delicious flavours, they’re ideal for on the go, and can also be enjoyed on non-work out days as balanced between-meal snacks.
Whether you’re looking to lose weight, gain muscle or just eat a little healthier, the Atkins range, which includes bars, shakes, pasta, muesli and crackers are all low in sugar and carbs, and are a convenient and tasty way to help you keep on track and add to your workout power.
The Atkins range is available in the pharmacy aisle of all major supermarkets and health and beauty stores, and online at Buy Atkins
