Hunter's February Food Log -

[Hunter]

Due to high volume training (kettlebells, grappling, rope climbing, handstands), I have felt the need to add a couple extra "small meals" and snacks to my usually nightly main meal.  My thoughts/performance on going back to eating little bit more during the (coming from under/overeating phases) will be posted here in my food log.

It will be a welcome addition to the forum. Personally, at the present time my challenge is to eat enough for my quite active physical lifestyle. I can eat relatively little during the day, but if I eat too little then I am ravenous at night. Fine tuning is obviously required.

hunter do you ever feel sluggish during the undereating phase? it seems like you includes lots of things for your body to process. i was wondering if it slows you down some, or is it keeping you light with energy? thanks bro.

[Hunter]

Hey Chico, up until this month, I had been following an undereating phase with a lot less food.  My activity levels went up in Jan, and I started to feel really deprived, so I figured I would up my food intake (taking a smaller meal during the day approach w/ a still hearty meal at night)...so far so good.  I feel great, good energy levels...I really would not call my days "undereating" anymore...I would say that I am now following the Anti-Estrogenic Diet with a multi-meal approach.  So far it is working for me, as like I said before, I am more active now than normal.  I am trying to include a day (Sunday) of fasting at least half the day...I may fast until dinner next Sunday, and then the following Sunday, I may even try a full day fast...just to see how that works and get the benefit from a fast.  I am gonna try to keep this thread up for a month to keep you guys posted.  Hope that answered your question.

Hunter

[chico]

sure does, thanks bro. i am thinking of shifting more towards a meal approach towards the summer when i am most active. this will be a good thread to review when i get to that point.

keep it up!

couple questions bro, do you get the canned coconut milk? or buy coconuts and get the milk from them? whats fucothin? and what enzymes do you take?

[SteveFreides]

Canned coconut milk is widely available - organic at Whole Foods, but you can even find it at many ordinary grocery stores and have been able to do so for years, at least around here.

I buy canned full-fat coconut milk from Whole Foods.  Fucothin is a supplement made from brown seaweed/pomegranate seed oil that supposedly boosts your metabolic rate w/ regular use (there are other benefits such as anti-oxidant support as well).  As for enzymes, I use garden of life's omega-zyme supplement.

[chico]

thanks for the response, i love coconut milk! the real stuff anyway, when i bought it canned i could not stomach the taste. maybe a bad brand. well keep up the log, interesting stuff.
