Sounds good! Were the veggies raw in your poke bowl? What kind of meat? What cuts. I'm on a paleo thing now (no grain, sugars, bad oils), but it's not dropping off like I would like. I just cut out dairy too.
Have you coupled a legit exercise routine with your paleo protocols? It'll help. Us Cavemen gotta stick together.
Well, I was doing wind sprints every day as much as I could for 3 weeks and doing bicep curls with 40 lb. weights. The running was only 6 wind sprints a day because I would run out of breath and cough and feel awful.
As I started to be able to breathe more, I started running as fast as I could for about a half mile each day. But, my joints started feeling crazy awful, I got real lethargic, and thought I got the flu for two days. Then it went away. I ran again, and it came right back.
My wife thinks I got the "low carb" flu. I started eating more fruit and dropped the dairy, but I'm scared to run again. I've put it of the past four days. What do you think?
Yep. I agree with your wife's diagnosis. Keto and/or low carb seem to work well for most folks that lead a more sedentary existence. And if you're cutting carbs you MUST make up those lost macros with fats. I find it beneficial to dip into keto every now and then, but my activity level and body chemistry can't sustain it for prolonged periods of time. And not all carbs are created equal. Carbs, be they simple or complex, are more beneficial if they're part of a fibery or nutrient dense package. Sweet potatoes, squashes, rices, low glycemic fruits, fuck even pasta from quality grains are beneficial if you're using em for fuel. Snickers and beer, not so much. Flip the food pyramid on its head. I eat as fresh as I can. Quality meats and fresh veggies and fruits. I cranked out a post further down this thread detailing my routine, if you're interested. But the gist of it is, it's MY routine. It works for ME. Everyone has to find what works best for them. Keep what works for you and shitcan the rest. Sounds like your mind is right and you're on a good path. Now it's just a matter of dialing it in and tailoring it to your needs. Keep crushing!
Salmon or tuna.. veggies are raw if you want to really drop go light on the sauce and don't use rice use zucchini strings or thry have some rice alternative made from caukiflower... obviously chicken and veggies is always a good meal... I drink milk as well chocolate milk depending on how much I'm lifting. Good luck keep it up the biggest thing is just going and doing something once you start even if you puss out and only run a mile its better then nothing I find though once I get there and get working out I usually finish it
Nice. Thanks for the help!
