An effective workout calls for a balanced diet. Sensible eating or a proper diet is the principle behind training weights. Crash and fad diets are avoided, as they result in loss of lean tissue and less of fat. Low fat cheese and crackers, carbohydrate based bars, fruits and yoghurt and smoothies made at home are helpful as weight training diet. A glass of liquid is essential with every snack or meal. Two to three cups of water is recommended two to three hours prior to weight training. Follow this with a glass of water, 15 minutes prior to workout.
