RE: OT - RE: [fast5] Rick (eating & weight training)

Very interesting...

After reading that web page, I started double guessing my eats, too.

My protein is very low right now as I am not eating any animal protein
(eggs, neither).

I want to lose this fat and see the muscle underneath but perhaps I'd do
better to keep the diet as clean as I have been (lots of vegs, fruits,
beans, less than 1 cup starches/grains, low fat) and increase my protein.

Like you, I'm going to run this way for the next week or so and see what
develops.

Then I'll decide...

Doesn't sound like you need luck, Rick. You are giting R dun!!

I will indeed post back here when I get some results either way. I know
it's not really scientific as I don't have an identical twin to use as a
control, but I can share my experiences. ;)

Over the last few days I've endeavored to start eating "clean". Meaning,
two chicken breasts and a dozen eggs (at least 170 grams of protein), along
with unlimited broccoli, asparagus, salads, avacado, etc for dinner.
Multi-vitamin pack, cod liver oil. No sauces, no candies, no desserts, no
breads, no pasta, no cheating, no kidding.

What I've learned is that on this sort of clean, low calorie diet, combined
with IF, I have lots of energy but my mood rapidly deteriorates around
3:00pm. I seem to actually be dropping pounds, maintaining strength and
energy, but I wouldn't want to be around me a couple hours before dinner.
:) I'm going to hang in there for a while and see if my mood improves over
time and until I get down to my goal weight of about 180.

Wish me luck.
