Going back to weight training tomorrow (EXCITED) wondering if any other members who train can offer me some tips. Cliff from CO2 has some great tips that have worked for me. I'm just wondering if anyone else here can offer me ideas etc. I feel like I am ready after my run-in with some health complications.
What meal combinations gives you a great workout and recovery next day?
Exercise increases the need for protein and carbohydrate for me, it gives me a bigger appetite and eat ALOT without weight gain. But When I don't exercise I lose appetite and in return my energy slows, my digestions slows, and everything sort of goes downhill from there. From past experience everything was good until I lost the baby, then my hormones were out of control (guessing) I have been using progest e in high dose (thanks to those who suggested it) Everything seems to be good now, still waiting on thyroid supplement. But in the mean time life must go on. Just a couple of questions,
Do you think gelatin is necessary post workout? I have done without, and I felt no difference.
I love the coffee, milk, sugar mix before workout, but I get better results with milk/fruit instead.
Also, how much baking soda do you take immediately after your workout? I do a teaspoon in water, but I have heard tablespoon is better. I have yet to get to that point. I'm tempted, because a teaspoon does wonders for me, but I am careful when it comes to my stomach. I've very sensitive to a lot of things. My diet is starch free, cheese, milk, fruit, sugar, honey (by the spoon) and liver and oxtail/ground beef/bone broth.
All suggestions welcome.
