Mistake #6. Fear of Food
Muscle is particularly sensitive to insulin during this workout/post-workout period, so if you want to build muscle/curves, it’s imperative that you eat during what we call the “peri-workout” period, which is comprised of the period just before, during, and after a resistance workout.
So temporarily forget your calorie fears. Temporarily forget your carb fears, too, because this is when you need to provide your muscles with the material it needs to build those curves.
In general, have a protein/carbohydrate drink about 45 minutes to an hour before a workout and a substantial amount of protein and carbohydrates after a workout. In an ideal world, you’d also sip a protein/carb drink during the workout, too, but at the very least, make sure you don’t skimp on that post-workout meal.
