Depending upon how long you have already been exercising you might have already come across this phenomenon. For a while, many regular exercise enthusiasts believed there was a 'magic window' and if you consume any kind of nutrition within this so-called magic window your body would be able to make excessive gains in the gym. Science then provided the proof to back up those claims. The most common questions on this subject are easily:
* What length of time does the window stay open for?
* What should you consume to get maximum results?
* How does this situation exist in the first place?
* What should you expect if you fail to hit the golden window?
We'll be discussing all of the questions above. The magic window is something which occurs after you complete an exercise session. Basically your body is trying to replace all of the nutrients it has just lost.
Your muscles are starving and they want to eat immediately. Whatever you decide to eat in this short period will be consumed as quickly as possible by your body. Try providing it with an already nutritious option and you'll notice that your body is able to make the absolute most of it.

The problem with simple carbs, of course, is that they are usually associated with fatty foods and it would be silly to eat junk food after a tough workout. So think about using a bowl of cereal or some fruit instead.
During this small post-workout period our body will work to make the most of absolutely any food we provide it with. But if you make an effort to provide it with only options which are healthy in the first place you practically double your success rate here in one easy move.
Should you miss this golden window there is no need to panic. The damage by missing it once or twice is absolutely minimal, this is something which will enhance your results if you hit it on a consistent basis but won't wreck your progress if you miss it here and there.
