Anyone who has gone an entire day without sleeping can tell you what a negative effect it has on their capability to do anything well. Anyone who has gone the same length of time without eating can tell you a similar story – there are certain things that your body needs, and without them it does not work in the way it should. Nor does your brain. What you are working with – your body – is a complicated organism that will malfunction if it is not treated the right way. This is why working in collaboration with nature to ensure the best results is so important.
Putting the right food into your body is an absolute minimum requirement for a good body building regime. The work that your body needs to do to make the exercise effective is quite demanding. You will not gain muscle without eating protein-rich foods. You will not have the energy for high-impact work without eating carbohydrates. And without fiber, your body will not operate at the right level of fluency to make all of this work possible and effective. Taking all of this into account, you must be aware that cheating nature is not an option.
Getting the right foods in the right quantities, and getting the rest and relaxation to ensure that all of the work is effective, are all indispensable parts of a worthwhile exercise regime. Don't skimp on these and assume that you can fill in the gaps, because you simply cannot, and it will catch up on you if you try.
