Roti canai + teh tarik after exercise

I notice very often that many reward their exercise with roti canai and teh tarik. There is a sense of joy and fulfillment which comes along with the satisfaction of working out and having something nice for a meal.
So, is there anything that might be wrong with this? Firstly, there is also another side to this. If your weight, cholesterol and fat levels are fine, therefore this habit will not harm you. If your results are not, then something is just not right.
What could possibly be wrong with this habit??? Well what we don't realize is that the absorption rate of the stomach and intestines are significantly higher after a workout. It means whatever you eat, alot of the nutrients will be absorbed compared to other times like breakfast, lunch or at dinner. So, when we eat something which is higher in fat or sugar, more if it will be absorbed and stored in our body. When more sugar and fat is absorbed, more will be stored. When more is stored, more work to remove it.
If you are on a plan to lose weight, you will realize your progress seem to be slowing down and that's a nightmare actually.
Well, I think this is only the beginning cause i've seen people ordering up to 2 roti canai at times. God bless them!
So going back to the question, is there something wrong with this habit? Well, you know the answer.

Get Moving!
