Far From Home
Q:
Dear Brad,
For further studies i have to shift to the middle east there i’ll be living in a hostel. There would not be any gym around but i’ll buy some weight there and will keep on pumping with lit weights.But the problem is, i would not get enough to eat there as they dont provide non veg food so it would be impossible for me to fulfill my protein requirements as i wud be living away from my parents so would not b having enough money to buy those costly food supplements.
I dont want to lose my muscles, is there any way that i can maintain(if not build) my muscles mass without proper food?
Thanks
Himanshu

Hi Himanshu,
The answer is: yes. The body can adapt to so many circumstances. I was deployed overseas with the military, so I can empathize. With that said, you will have to get a little creative. To be honest, you will not gain the type of muscle mass that is ideal to fit your goals, however, you can make some decent progress regarding your situation.
Of the food you are provided, be sure to load up on meats, beans, and dairy. These will be your main sources of protein. Also, look into ordering protein supplements through the mail if possible. Most companies will ship almost anywhere in the world.
Most importantly, do not despair. Your trip is only temporary so take the opportunity to build discipline and a hard work ethic so when you come back to better conditions you will be already ahead of the game.
Good luck,
Brad
