Eating for a better workout

Four nutrition tips to help you get more from your workout.

Irrespective of whether you are a recreational runner or a super fit triathlete, everything you put into your mouth affects your performance. Sports dietician Caitlin Reid reveals four nutrition tips to help you get more from your workout.

Eat breakfast

By morning, most of the fuel you got from your dinner the night before is gone and blood sugar levels are low, which can make you feel sluggish. Eating before your workout can help you workout for harder and longer. If eating an hour before your workout, enjoy a light snack such as a piece of fruit, jam sandwich or muesli bar or a drink like a fruit smoothie. If you workout later in the day, eat a heartier low GI, higher protein breakfast (muesli or oats with low-fat milk or yoghurt and fruit or poached eggs on toast with an orange juice or glass of milk) to keep you powered up for your workout.

Stay hydrated

Make sure you are getting adequate water before, during and after your workout. Dehydration of just two per cent can reduce performance. To check your hydration status, look at the colour of your urine — a pale straw colour means you are well hydrated, while dark urine represents a dehydrated state. Start your workout in a well-hydrated state and drink 150-300ml of fluid every 15-20 minutes when exercising. Post exercise aim to drink 150 percent of your fluid loses. This means if you lose 1kg you need to drink 1.5L to rehydrate. Sports drinks are only necessary if you are exercising for more than an hour. Recreational athletes do not need them, unless they are exercising for extended periods of time in hot climates.

Time your meals

Be careful not to eat too much before you workout, as you can only use the food you have digested. Eating too much before you exercise can lead to stomach upsets such as diarrhoea or cramping. Work with the time you have prior to your exercise session. If you have two to three hours before your exercise session, enjoy a meal that is high in carbohydrate, moderate in protein and low in fat — a chicken salad sandwich or tuna pasta salad are perfect options. In you only have an hour, enjoy a smaller snack of a piece of fruit, muesli bar or tub of yoghurt.

Recover with food

Your recovery nutrition is the most important factor for how well you will perform at your next workout. For the best recovery post-exercise, follow the three R rule: refuel with carbohydrates, repair damaged muscles with protein and rehydrate with fluid. Eat for recovery and not as a reward for exercise. Good post-workout foods include glass of low-fat milk, trial mix with dried fruit and nuts, low-fat yoghurt or a regular meal with carbohydrates, protein and salad or vegetables.

Beckhams planning UK move and another baby

Beckhams planning UK move and another baby

It seems the Beckhams are heading back to the UK…and may be planning to add to their brood with baby number five.

David and Victoria have been spotted eyeing off multi-million dollar houses in west London with a view to moving back to the UK when David’s five-year football deal with LA Galaxy finishes later this year.

“They have been looking at houses over the past few months and the future is exciting as anything could happen,” a source told the UK’s Daily Mail.

“The thing they are most concerned about is giving the children stability. What is nice about being back in the UK is that they would be close to both their families again.”

The pair are also said to be planning a sibling for Brooklyn, 13, Romeo, 10, Cruz, 7, and 15-month-old Harper.

“Victoria is being very quiet about things. But she had never made it a secret that she didn’t see why she would stop after baby number four,” the source said.

“She loves having a big family and David has always said he would be thrilled if they had another child.”

The glamour couple and their family were back in the UK for the Olympics and both David and Posh were involved in the opening and closing ceremonies. In fact, it was Victoria’s strange behaviour following her performance with the Spice Girls that sparked rumours of another pregnancy.

“[She] was talking about having some strange food fads and she didn’t drink at all, not even to celebrate after performing at the Olympics,” a source told Heat magazine.

When asked whether Victoria was expecting, her representative said: “She’s not pregnant as far as I know”.

But the couple, who welcomed Harper just last year, have never shied away from talking about more children.

“I’d never say never about another baby,” David said.

“We’ve always said we’d love a big family and five was a number. If we’re lucky enough, we hope to have one more.”

While Victoria is also keen for another kid, she recently spoke out about the pressures of running a successful fashion label and being a mum.

“I’m not going to lie about it, I’m tired. I’m really tired but I’m also very happy with my life. I’m basically just like any woman who’s working and has lots of children – it’s tough,” she told the Sunday Mirror.

“I’m not getting much sleep at all,” she said. “Harper’s not sleeping that great, and I’ve been taking Skype business calls throughout the night too because of the collections.”

If the pair do move back to the UK, where Victoria’s fashion headquarters are located, David will have to decide what he will do after retiring from professional football. He has already ruled out coaching and management positions.

Susan Sarandon was sexually exploited as young actress

Susan Sarandon was sexually exploited as young actress

She’s been an actress for more than 43 years, but it hasn’t been an easy road for Susan Sarandon.

The 66-year-old Oscar winner has opened up about her “disgusting” first casting-couch experience where she experienced sexual exploitation.

“It was not successful — for either of us,” she told the November issue of Elle magazine.

“I just went into a room, and a guy practically threw me on the desk. It was my early days in New York, and it was really disgusting. It wasn’t like I gave it a second thought, it was so badly done.”

The veteran actress opened up after being asked if someone had ever tried to take advantage of her in the early years of her career.

Susan also defended her romance with her 31-years-younger boyfriend, ping-pong entrepreneur Jonathan Bricklin.

“People make him out to be much younger than he is – and me older,” Susan said, clarifying he is 35, not 33 as has been widely reported.

Back in March Susan told People magazine that the pair had been involved since 2010 and that “dating is such a stupid word”.

“You can say … we are collaborating in a lot of different areas,” she said.

There’s a new princess in the house

There's a new princess in the house

Mia Akiki had her fairytale wedding…now baby Bella is the icing on the cake.

Once upon a time, young Mia Akiki dreamed she would grow up, find a handsome prince and have a fairytale wedding. Well, this modern-day princess’s dreams came true way beyond her expectations. Not only did she find a doting prince in the form of hubby Simon, she got her fairytale wedding – possibly Australia’s most over the top nuptials, where the bride arrived in a pumpkin coach, in a gown made from 150 metres of silk and wearing a 4kg jewelled crown.

“I’d found my Prince Charming and I wanted to marry him in the most lavish and extravagant style,” Mia told Woman’s Day at the time. And now Mia and Simon’s happy-ever-after story continues, with the arrival of their own princess – the adorable Bella Donna Monroe Akiki. “I now have two princesses to look after,” says Simon, 27, who’s been with Mia since he was 17.

He and Mia are creating a fairytale world for Bella Donna at their eastern Sydney home. “We wanted Bella’s nursery to be fit for a princess,” says proud mum Mia. Mother and daughter wear matching crowns, matching designer dresses, and each has enough pairs of shoes to make Imelda Marcos feel like an also-ran. The doting parents are already preparing for Bella’s first birthday.

“We want to give her a massive party,” says Mia, who is envisaging something along the lines of her wedding. “We want to try to teach her to like the best things and get her the best things. We want her to be a little princess. She really is a princess – just so special.” Mia, 26, also hopes baby Bella will grow up to inherit her unique sense of style. “Then I can give her everything of mine,” she says. “Hopefully one day she can wear my wedding dress at her wedding. I have a feeling one day Bella will be famous. She already has a famous sounding name.

Princess Mary’s nude photo horror

Princess Mary's nude photo horror

Mary has unwittingly become embroiled in the Duchess of Cambridge nude photo scandal.

A Danish magazine’s controversial decision to publish nude photos of the Duchess of Cambridge has left Crown Princess Mary reeling. The “bottomless” photos, shot with a long-range lens and showing Kate changing out of her swimmers on a balcony in France, were run over 16 pages in Se Og Hor, despite Kensington Palace threatening to take legal action.

And it seems that if Mary were snapped in such a state, she could face the same fate. According to Woman’s Day’s Danish sources, the magazine’s editor, Kim Henningsen, has said if he were offered similar pictures of Mary – though it’s believed nothing of the sort exists – he might publish them after “very careful consideration”. But Kim believes Mary is far more careful than her British counterpart.

“Mary knows what to do as a royal. She would never be in pictures like this,” he claims. Still, it’s no wonder Mary has her guard up now more than ever. “Mary has been paranoid for years about such photos being taken of her,” veteran Danish royal photographer Steffen Sorren tells Woman’s Day exclusively. “She is extra mindful when she is close to water and sun [after being] snapped in a bikini some years ago.”

Luckily for Mary, those photos, taken while she was on a yacht off the Sardinian coast in 2009, caused a sensation for all the right reasons, revealing the princess was in super-fit shape. “She has since been vigilant and always looks after herself and keeps herself decent in these situations,” Steffen says.

Modern Family Feud!

Modern Family Feud!

The claws are out between Sofia Vergara and Julie Bowen, causing tension on the hit show.

It’s the hilarious sitcom that has viewers in fits. But we can reveal that behind the scenes on Modern Family, a vicious catfight has broken out between two fan favourites – and it’s no laughing matter. Sources have revealed to Woman’s Day that Julie Bowen, 42, who plays mum Claire Dunphy, is fighting a no-holds-barred war of words with her Latina co-star Sofia Vergara, 40, who plays Claire’s stepmum Gloria Pritchett.

In what appears to be a brutal clash of egos, our insider says what started as petty jealousy has escalated, and is threatening to tear the hit show apart as cast members take sides. “Things have become mega-bitchy between them,” a set source tells us exclusively. “They really hate each other now. It started when they dissed each other on TV a while ago, but things have gotten worse and worse since then.”

In October 2009, Sofia went on US talk show Chelsea Lately, hosted by Jennifer Aniston’s best pal Chelsea Handler. She accused Chelsea of being “jealous of my accent”, adding, “You’re like Julie Roland, the girl that works in my series.” Chelsea pointed out that Julie’s last name was Bowen, but Sofia simply waved it off. When Julie paid a visit to the same show a month later, she was asked how Sofia could forget her name despite them working together for almost a year.

Julie retorted, “I have never had the chance to fly Sofia [in a] private [jet] and give her jewellery, so my name has no resonance for her.” She also referred to Sofia, who was born in Colombia, as “Cholo Barbie” – “cholo” being a derogatory term for Hispanic. Their war of words has intensified behind the scenes. According to our source, Julie makes fun of Sofia with insulting “impressions on set while Sofia constantly snipes, even going so far as to call Julie’s post-baby body ‘disgusting’”.

Hey Ange…This is a ring!

Hey Ange...This is a ring!

Jen debuts a huge engagement sparkler that dwarfs her love rival’s.

It’s the engagement ring the world has been waiting to see. And now that beaming bride-to-be Jennifer Aniston has at last revealed the sparkler presented to her by fiance Justin Theroux, all we can say is it’s been well worth the wait!

Two months after the laid-back scriptwriter/actor proposed to an ecstatic Jen on his 41st birthday, the 43-year-old actress is proudly displaying the monster rock that sealed the deal.

Set on a thin gold band, the blinding diamond solitaire – estimated at eight or nine carats and said to be worth around $500,000 – was hard to miss as a loved-up Jen put her hand to Justin’s face during a romantic catch-up in Santa Fe, New Mexico. “It’s a huge, emerald-cut diamond… It’s beautiful,” an insider told Life & Style magazine shortly after the pair announced their engagement.

US magazine Time also gushes over the rock, but points out, “The gigantic ring seems to take up nearly a third of her ring finger.” Others aren’t quite so generous in their praise of the super-sized design – including Jen’s love rival, Angelina Jolie. A source close to Ange reveals to Woman’s Day, “Angelina has seen the pictures and she thinks it looks like it belongs on a Christmas tree.”

Read more on what Ange thinks of Jen’s ring in this week’s Woman’s Day on sale Monday October 15, 2012.
