Today’s topic will be The Thermic Effect of Food. The thermic effect of food is the energy that our body uses while we are digesting, absorbing and disposing of food. The amount of calories burned depends on the composition of the food that we consume. Proteins take a longer time to digest, that is why our body uses about 30% of the energy you get from eating protein just to digest it. Carbohydrates, depending on their molecular length, use about 5-15%. Fats are the easiest macronutrient to digest, that is why only 0-5% is used during digestion.

If you have more questions about certain topics, you can DM us anytime! 🔥💪🏼

Today, and every Sunday from now on, we will delve briefly into the history of sports. We will start with the most famous of them all, Ancient Greece.

In Illiad, Homer’s famous work on Bronze Age Greece, Homer highlights the cultural importance of sports, since sports prove martial and physical prowess of the participants. Achilles, in Petroclus’ funeral, declares he would be the certain winner of the foot race. Wrestling and boxing is also among the more prominent sports in the epic.

For these and many other sports, existed an institution, where any aspirants could practice and the name you most certainly know: Gymnasium
In these facilities, athletes trained for games and citizens for general health and respect training earned them. They were also a place to gather for social and intellectual pursuits. Gymnasiarchs, an ancient iteration of trainers, ran the facility and trained the aspirants.

In ancient Greece, being an athlete, and in general having a good looking and healthy physique was respected, and it still is to this day. .

Calory is a unit to define the amount of energy that is consumed from nutritions. Not everyone’s metabolism is the same, so a different amount of calories is needed for different people and goals. To lose weight, someone should eat less than he/she burns (calory deficit). To gain weight, more calories should be taken than burned (calory surplus) and to maintain weight, taken and burned calories should be equal. When you take the needed amount of calories, the macronutrients that you take those calories from is the determinant of how effective you lose/gain weight. You should have a balanced diet to maintain muscle mass while in a caloric deficit and not gaining fat while in a caloric surplus.

Today we will cover carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are the main fuel source our body uses when we exercise. That's why we recommend eating carbohydrates instead of fats after you have eaten a certain amount of fats. As long as you are in a caloric deficit, carbohydrates will be used as fuel. If you eat more than your body needs, these carbohydrates will be stored as fat in the body. In most cases, carbohydrates are linked with higher performance when used in the right way. 🍌🍞

Soon we will explain the differences in carbohydrates so you can plan out your meals more efficiently!🥔

The first Macronutrient we will talk about are the fats. Fats are an essential part of a healthy body because the human organs are fueled by them. That's why we have to add healthy fats to our diet so they keep working efficiently and aid in the process of building our dream body.
The important thing we need to know is that after a certain amount of fats the excess we get is not of much use to our body. We are better off eating proteins or carbonhydrates, since these are a better fuel source when we are exercising .

Losing weight is not complicated like we think it is. Using pills and fat burners, doing hours of cardio as training and starving all day is not the solution. Doing these will only make the situation harder, though It is not a sustainable way to lose weight. Eating in a calorie deficit with high protein intake and doing weight training several times a week makes everything better and easier for everyone.
Kilo vermek düşünüldüğü gibi zor bir şey değil. Tüm gün aç kalmak, saatlerce cardio yapmak, yağ yakıcılar ve haplar kullanmak bu konuda çözüm olmayacaktır. Bunlar sadece durumu zorlaştırır ve sürdürülebilir bir yaşam şekli de değildir. Haftada bir kaç kez ağırlık antrenmanı yapmak ve yüksek protein alımı ile kalori açığı oluşturmak, herkes için daha iyi ve daha kolay bir çözümdür. @ Istanbul, Turkey

Protein is a macronutrient that helps with the recovery and growth of our muscles. This picture shows us a few examples of how we can get protein from meat or vegan sources. Other than these, there are still plenty of other options such as milk, yoghurt, eggs, quinoa,...
Protein, antrenman sırasında yıpranan kaslarımızın yeniden yapılanmasını ve gelişmesini sağlar. Görselde vegan ve et çeşitleri şeklinde sınıflandırılmış protein kaynaklarını görüyorsunuz. Bunlara ek olarak süt, yoğurt, yumurta, karides, ton balığı, kinoa, mercimek gibi bir çok yemek de protein içerir.
