Faervel17 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Thanks for the explanation that makes a ton more sense. I've been juicing which has helped but I am not eating most of my foods until later in the day like 3pm until midnight. I'm eating mostly good food I'm just eating it all in a short period of time and not spreading it out. I think that may be whats leading to my exhaustion. Tough part is, in order to get up earlier and eat earlier I need to have energy earlier which just doesn't seem to be happening. Monday I start training earlier in the day so I'd like to start finding energy in the mornings before then.

ChristArtist Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 I looked up fibromyalgia. It's a rough stuff.Do you have any kind of special diet? Do you have some kind of allergic reaction to food?Besides, hove you seen this? Because of my faith, I do not say this lightly. ..OMG!!!!I'm on paleo for anti inflammation. I finally conVinced myself off that. What is really interesting is that for quite a while, we've known my body has a hard time absorbing vitamin b's, n and with a 100, I supplement three others, b1, 6 and 12. (And weight loss docs wanted to cut out that part of my stomach/ intestine. ... make it impossible for me to absorb nutrients!)Also, I am highly allergic to iodine...food and chemical... And I have realized a deficiency. .. but have not found any one to help me. I think I can still eat high quality kelp, but I have to be very careful. There is so Much in this you tube video. .. thank you so much! Thank you, thank you! Consider yourself hugged, and I thank God for haVing you check that out! I am so touched!

Tough part is, in order to get up earlier and eat earlier I need to have energy earlier which just doesn't seem to be happening. Monday I start training earlier in the day so I'd like to start finding energy in the mornings before then. I cannot find the exact blog, but Steve's strength training mentor suggested Steve to train before breakfast. This is my understanding from top of my head. The goal of exercise is to deplete glycogen from muscle. That triggers hormonal response to add more muscle tissue.So, while resting, your body starts to add more muscle since body noticed you depleted glycogen in muscle, and next time when you need to battle a bear for survival, you want to have more muscle. If you eat carbs or worse drink fruit juice, you spike up insulin and your muscles use the food sugar instead of your body's glycogen.You'll have plenty energy to exercise but to lose weight or gain muscle, it's counter productive to eat carb/sugar before exercise. OTOH, once you deplete glycogen, you do want some carbs to replenish depleted glycogen. Otherwise, the recovery is slower, etc. etc.Recovery food should include carbs, proteins and fats too. When I have time, I'll find more resources to explain this better. I'll quote about "when" from simplescientificfitness.com.I'm not a strong believer of strict food timing rules. However, I think forcing your body to use stored energy rather than sugar coming from stomach seems quite logical if you are trying to lose fat. Sugar/insulin spike prevents losing fat because insulin forces muscle to use sugar in blood and tells fat cells to hang on to fat, so high carb before exercise is logically not a good thing. When to EatWhile intermittent fasting is encouraged, when you eat or whether or not you have breakfast is not as important as what you eat and how much you eat in a day. The body is efficient with partitioning and storing energy and nutrients, so it is fine to eat three meals or six meals a day as long as you meet the day's total caloric requirement. OTOH, if I'm competing in a tennis match or someone is running marathon, you have to welcome extra energy from carbs. (Carb load!) I see many pro tennis players eating banana during match. It's full of natural fructose. Racquet wielding rock gnome: Ranger - L6 - STR: 13, DEX: 8, STA: 13.5, CON: 12, WIS: 14, CHA: 11 Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.

I have to watch my blood glucose, that it doesn't drop, but after a couple years of hit and miss good food, I can now do a fasting low intensity cardio workout in the morning. You have to figure out what your body needs to wake up. .. And NOT caffeine. Can you test your blOod sugar? You may need something too easy first thing. .. not anything big. .. but Something to get you TO your workout. My husband, a warrior here, eats an Apple, our some cashews before his lifting workout, then follows it with carb/ protein for recovery. It's really very individual. .. but also very doable!

TennisGeek Posted January 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Hey, guys. How are you doing? To me, weekend means "cheating!" Woohoo! This is a good argument to "diet" and "diet food". Six week challenge is not about ending diet at the end of challenge. It's about kicking off the long term positive behavioral change, like start cooking good food regularly, or stop drinking bad sugary drinks. I'm working on the sleep challenge. It's been gradual but making a small progress every week. How about yours so far. 1 Racquet wielding rock gnome: Ranger - L6 - STR: 13, DEX: 8, STA: 13.5, CON: 12, WIS: 14, CHA: 11 Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.

ChristArtist Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Even with the beginning of the week being bad, I got two days of my Flic done, as well as two -two hour sessions of cleaning the apartment to turn back in. Good had been better than I'd hoped, not as good as it will be now that we are in one space. I have been able to say no to things I don't want. .. because I don't really want the effects any more, Even though they may scream my name from across the table with friends. .. bread, sugar and dairy. Whole food is satisfying and non symptomatic for me. I introduced two friends to Kombucha.. two totally different reactions! Next week we are attending the Texas nf meet up in Dallas... and I am trying to not freak out. So that's me in a nut shell right now!

TennisGeek Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Soooo. You working hard? Hardly working? To give you an idea what I eat, here is what happened Sat. and Sun. Sat.- Woke up, munch on an apple while heating up an Applegate hotdog and two pieces of smoke ham and tea.- On the way to volunteer site (WCE), stopped at DDonuts feeling hungry, buy a coffee with cream and bacon/egg/cheese on english muffin, and toss the top half of english muffin. (Hunger may be due to not enough sleep.)- Since the lunch at WCE is pizza, head out to a diner, ate fish&chips with unsweetened iced tea. Regret eating all of chips.- Came home, and baked Trader Joe's White Fish Vera Curz - marinated white fish. Not quite paleo but good enough when busy. Ate it with salad. Total calories were a bit too high. 2,900. I did not record any exercise but in reality, the volunteer work requires moving computers.Also, walking in a computer store and Trader Joe for food shopping is not included. Sun.- Woke up, chopped cabbage and cooked with 2 pieces of bacon. Feeling still hungry, sautee spinach with butter and drop in two egges. For my cheat meal, I ate half of Udis GF hamburger roll.- While watching Pats game, two brat, one beer and 1/4 bag of potato chips which cooked in olive oil. My glorious cheat meal.- As Pats losing, I made stuffed pepper.- As Pats lost, I ate dinner - stuffed pepper. My wife came home with her sister's eggplant parm, a pan of it. I ate two pieces. It's not paleo but good enough.- After coming home from tennis club, another beer (rare to have two a day), two pieces of roast beef and some nuts. Total calories were 2,300, and less than even. Well, Sat/Sun is my cheat day and my choice of bad stuff are potato and beer. I still stay away from gluten as much as possible, except good beer. Monday and on, I'll be back to normal food of quasi paleo. 1 Racquet wielding rock gnome: Ranger - L6 - STR: 13, DEX: 8, STA: 13.5, CON: 12, WIS: 14, CHA: 11 Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.

Faervel17 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Thanks, looks like I'll have to do some research on this intermittent fasting thing. I do have some blood tests that I need to get done that my doctor requested to see if I'm deficient in anything and see if thats whats causing so much of my tiredness I think a glucose test MIGHT have been on there. I had a good weekend and end of the week, hit the gym with my trainer this morning and I'm tired now so we will have to see if this is possible to be kept up for more than just a few weeks.

TennisGeek Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Hope it's not serious. I am generally not high energy cuz I have a bit less red blood cell count, and low blood pressure. It means I'm not a morning person at all. I feel better as day goes on.

Still under calories, though. Well, if you want to feel better, watch "Fat Head" on youtube.You can lose weight eating fast food.Baconator sounds fine to me. I might toss the top half of bun tho. Also scrape off the mayo if it's on it. Fries problem is that it's fried in veg oil. I don't have problem with potato that much, but human body is not made for large quantity of veg oil.Not acceptable is soda, which is full of HFCS + caffeine - made to addict everyone. Point is to keep the carbs as low as possible.If you didn't touch fries, go easy on yourself. 1 Racquet wielding rock gnome: Ranger - L6 - STR: 13, DEX: 8, STA: 13.5, CON: 12, WIS: 14, CHA: 11 Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.
