Adding an exercise activity to your daily routine will definitely help you achieve that heavenly goal of looking like one of those healthy Hollywood movie stars. Even if it is the first time you decide to begin a routine to shape yourself up, it doesn't mean that you shouldn't get the most of it. To successfully accomplish your target, you have to consider eating the correct foods at the right times in addition to your work out plan.

It is not a good idea to work out right after you have had a large meal. Doing so, will lead to indigestion, sleepiness, sluggishness, poor performance or cramps during exercise, not to mention the fact that you will certainly feel worse than when you started. Also, the idea is not to stop eating because you will begin to feel tired, faint, lightheaded and weak, and with these symptoms there is no possible way for you to be able to work out and fulfill your daily routine comfortably.

When deciding on proper workout, your own experience is the best indicator, but only once you have studied and followed the basic general guidelines.

Here are a few things to keep in mind when starting up an exercise plan:

You should wait 3 to 4 hours after a large meal to work out, if the meal is not so big 2 to 3 hours is perfect.

The most important meal of the day is breakfast, as it starts up your digestive engine so it works faster, therefore breakfast shouldn't be skipped. Other meals should not be skipped either, although when planning to work out, meals should be smaller so that you only have to wait an hour in order to exercise. Consider appetite suppressants if you experience troubles measuring out your meals.

To have enough energy to go through your work out, there is a word you should learn and remember, CARBS. Carbohydrates are the best fuel for the wonderful machine we call the human body. You can easily find them in bread, cereals, pasta, fruits and vegetables. All of these carbs are stored directly in your muscles as glycogen and not in your thighs. Whenever the muscle needs energy to continue working out it just takes it from its closest resource, which is the glycogen. Sometimes it's difficult to have a meal right before exercise, but there are easier ways to consume carbs like cereal bars, sport drinks or a smoothie rich in carbohydrates. This way your performance will improve.

As difficult as this is to believe, your body needs fat. Good fats that is, not the fat you get from hamburgers or deep fried French fries, we are talking about fat from nuts or fish, as your body can break them up easier to use them as an energy supply instead of storing them in your bum or your thighs.

Lastly, avoiding dehydration is the key to an optimum performance in your work out. As you work out, your body produces heat which in turn produces sweat, this sweat needs to be replaced with water in order to keep your body hydrated and on top of its game.

You may already know that America spends more than any other country on health care. Almost ten times more.

You may already know that we spend over $3 Billion a year on weight loss programs and products.

But it may surprise you to know that we rank 38th of the top 40 industrialized nations in overall health. Even though we spend the Most, we don't have the Best. Far from it:

We're fatter, sicker and weaker than just about every other modern country

Obesity and diabetes are being classified as epidemic

Radical procedures like Gastric bypass are becoming more popular

The ultimate irony: even though we spend over $3 billion a year on weight loss programs and products, we spend over $3 billion a year on junk food, too.

The pharmaceutical industry spends billions in research and treatment of Heart Disease, Arthritis, Alzheimer's, Diabetes, Osteoporosis, Cancer...but we're still getting sicker and sicker.

Why? Because these aren't diseases that you "catch". Researchers call them the "diseases of Modern Civilization", because they're directly connected to the things we eat. To our modern, so-called Civilized diet. I call them diseases of 'Disconnection'. Because we're disconnected from Nature, disconnected from our Food, and disconnected from Ourselves.

Researchers, historians, nutritionists, scientists--anyone who's studied the natural history of these changes in human health (especially the recent changes)--all agree that the trouble started thousands of years ago with the Agricultural Revolution. That's when we started domesticating animals and plants for food, and using fire and tools to eat new foods that our bodies weren't designed to eat.

The next big shift was the Industrial Revolution, about 100 years ago. As people moved from the country into the cities, they couldn't grow their own food. So the people in the country had to grow food for everyone else. The new machinery made it easier to grow, harvest, process, preserve and transport all that food. Unfortunately, all that technology disconnected us even further from our Original diet, and made us sicker quicker.

Dr. Loren Cordain, Author of The Paleo Diet, did most of the pioneering research into the Stone Age eating patterns. He found that over 70% of the calories we eat today were not even available in the Stone Age. Our bodies haven't changed a whole lot since the Stone Age, but our food certainly has. Dr. Cordain calls it a "collision" between our ancient genes and our recently introduced foods. And our bodies can't handle it.

Now, 100 years may not seem like it's very recent, but compared to the thousands of years before, it's not really that long. And even in the past ten or twenty years things have changed dramatically, with more and more junk food, fake foods, food replacements. (My favorite: Pasteurized processed cheese food product.)

Whether you call it a Collision or a Disconnection, it's a mess. Our modern advances and technology have ultimately given us the Diseases of Modern Civilization: epidemics of Heart Disease, Arthritis, Alzheimer's, Diabetes, Osteoporosis, Cancer.

Spending all that time, energy and money trying to "cure" these diseases isn't really helping (and I don't believe it will ever help). I believe the answer lies in re-connecting. Re-learning our natural, innate, pre-programmed eating habits--based on lean meat, fresh fruits and vegetables--and feeding our bodies the way they were created/designed to eat.

No, you don't have to live in a cave or kill your own food. It's easy to eat in the Stone Age while you live in the Space Age--if you learn and apply the eating principles of our early ancestors. You'll be able to lose weight, feel great, and re-create your Ideal body from the Inside-Out.
