Enzyme Love

Since contest prep has begun, I have been eating like a mad woman. What you say? Eat? When I'm supposed to be cutting weight?! Yes. I eat 6 times a day and space each meal out by about 2.5-3.5 hours. Eating so frequently keeps the metabolism revved so the body can constantly burn baby burn. Now, that being said, most people who compete and eat like this take enzymes. Digestive enzymes exist in the stomach naturally. They break down the foods we eat so they can move along and be digested and absorbed. Butttttt, adding the extra dose through pill form helps speed up the break down of food even more so the nutrients can be absorbed and used quicker. Then the body is ready for that next meal.

I've learned that enzymes are a small miracle for me. Having issues with my gallbladder, I should steer clear from fats. In order for my body to do and preform the way I want and need it to, I need fat in my diet. Simple as that. So, I really rely on these enzymes to help break down the fat in my diet.

There are many different types of enzymes out there. Some that help particularly with the breakdown of carbs, some that are best with fats. You name it, there's a visene enzyme for that. I take one called Lipo Gold which is made by the Digest Gold brand. That particular brand speaks high volumes. It is a top of the line enzyme. Though it is a bit pricier than other enzymes I can honestly say that I notice a difference between it and the other brands I have taken.

Prior to every meal I take a capsule of my Digest Gold and I am good to go! My stomach is at ease, digestion is a breeze and I am always ready for my next meal. I recommend enzymes to anyone, not just competitors. It really gives the body a sense of ease.

Well there you go, there's my food for thought for the day :) Happy Tuesday!
