I’m sure we all know the importance of supplementation. But just in case your a little unsure in this department I am going to give you a list of some of the top supplements I recommend you take daily in conjunction with your Bikini Butt workouts.
These are some key supplements for weight loss and general health that everyone who is serious about their fitness goals should be incorporating today.
1# Protein –
Ladies, don’t let the commercials and advertisements fool you! Protein powder is just as appropriate for women as it is for men.
You need to think of protein in terms of what it really is…powdered protein. Just like our egg whites, skinless chicken breasts, salmon or tuna; it all serves the same purpose of getting healthy protein based food into our body.
High protein diets are almost always recommended for losing weight (and no it wont make you a muscle mutant).
Protein itself is very filling, studies have shown that it is the most filling macro nutrient over both carbohydrates (eek!) and fats. This makes it the hardest source of food to gain weight or over eat from.
Apart from that it will help us to tone up our buns and thigh muscles when we are blasting them in Andrea’s workouts. Remember lean muscle tissue = more calories burned from simply existing.
You can take 1 or 2 scoops a day after your workout, in a shake, in your breakfast cereal, or as a meal replacement.
There are a lot of brands out there, and some more expensive than others.
I recommend Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard.
I Always Get My Protein Powder From Here
It is the number one selling protein worldwide, is well priced, and contains a good serving of protein with extremely low amounts of carbs and fat (which is always good).
It also comes in 16 flavors so you can’t let being picky be an excuse this time!
2# Multi Vitamin
Foods today are not made as healthy and as naturally as they once were and because of this they are lacking in all the nutrients they could be offering.
Adding a decent multi vitamin to your life is always a good idea. You can pick up a decent multi vitamin from the grocery store, but for a really good one at an affordable price:
I recommend Rainbow Light Women’s One
#3 Fish Oil
Last but not least I recommend you supplement with some healthy omega 3 fatty acids daily. 1-6 pills per day is the typical dose, taken with meals.
Fish oils have many weight loss and overall health benefits. Really any quality fish oil is fine but:
I recommend Optimum Fish Oil
There you have it. Take these supplements in conjunction with your workout program and you will be on the road to a fitter and healthier future!
