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

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.
