Mother Nature can’t make
up her mind with this weather π¬️ I’m ready for some spring, hopefully, we don’t just skip right to
summer.
The food plan is going
great now. I had to increase my protein because apparently when you drop that protein
too low you start losing muscle and strength fast. I’m almost back to my pre-protein
reduction status. But it definitely threw me off. At first, I thought it was
due to my cardio. So, I reduced my cardio. However, I have been doing cardio
every day for several months and I knew there had to be another factor. This is
when I figured out it was my protein intake. When I picked my protein back up,
my muscles started filling out again and I started getting stronger. I think it’s
crazy that you can drop your carbs to zero and it has zero affect on your
strength, energy, and muscle fullness, but if you drop your protein too low,
things start changing dramatically.
My experience was a
great example of how you need to experiment with your food intake to see what
effect it has on your physique. You definitely want to eat for your health and
for your own personal goals and preferences. Sometimes you may read information
that gives you recommendations, but this might not be best for you.
