A fitness diet must contain a certain amount of calories and nutrients. Regular fitness classes will ensure body shaping, slimming and improving the condition, provided that the diet is properly composed for this effort. See an example menu for a woman exercising aerobics, zumba, body pump etc.

What should be the correctfitness diet(women regularly attending fitness classes)?

The most common mistakes made by women who are dieting are intense exercise and a low-calorie slimming diet. Many of them decide to move every day and it doesn't matter if it's Zumba, interval training or body pump. Weight stops dropping quite quickly, adipose tissue begins to grow. There is also fatigue, difficulty concentrating and finally you give up both diet and fitness.

Why is this happening? Because the body, exhausted by too much effort, will produce excessive amounts of stress hormones, including cortisol, and will try to keep every calorie you eat, even if it comes only from lettuce.

Fitness diet: rules

Diet should be low-fat with slightly more carbohydrates or energy for exercise, and more protein to repair and rebuild muscles. Vegetable and fruit juices should be included in your diet as they are rich in antioxidants and increase the feeling of fullness due to their high fiber content. Proteins should come from meat, lean dairy products and legumes - a variety of protein sources will provide combinations of different amino acids with different absorption times.

Below is an example menu.
