Anabolic Diet, Day 2 of 12 day Induction Phase
IN A NUTSHELL:
Anabolic Diet: Eating was torturous all morning. Felt nauseated (seriously) even thinking about food. Started feeling better about food after my post workout meal…there was enough of a change immediately after I had some peanut butter that I wondered whether I shouldn’t have had it. LOL So far, I haven’t come across anything that says I can’t…just says to be aware of the carbs.
Hunger: Yeah right.
Cravings: None at all. I was maybe a little more thirsty than usual but not like yesterday.
Energy: Had absolutely zero most of the day. Every time I sat down or stopped moving I’d be in whatever position I was in just vegging. Wasted lots of time. If I would have laid down, I would have gone to sleep. I started feeling better after my pre-workout meal.
Mood: Felt like a content, lazy drunk most of the day. Relieved at feeling more normal in the evening.
Mental Clarity: Air headed most of the day. Almost normal toward evening.
Physical Appearance: Bloated in the morning. Limbs starting to look skinny and feel soft…I look like I’ve been sick and living off chicken broth for a few days.
Workout: Overall, better than yesterday. I was a little shakey at first and felt like my heart rate went up for no reason a few times. I didn’t get as many reps as I expected to out of most exercises, but that sometimes happens even when you haven’t screwed with your diet.
