From underslept, overtrained, and underfed to boss sleep, leanAF, and feeling like a new man!
Two weeks ago I completed a goal I set last year. One year of 100% cold showers. Here are my thoughts.
How should your training change when you’re in a dedicated calorie deficit? The first mistake I see is reducing the amount of lifting and increasing cardio to an unnecessary amount. Adding 3-4 HIIT sessions, going on runs when you never would run before, and adding purposeless movement for the thought of burning more calories.
Why is it so hard to take sleep seriously? Because we don’t want to believe how impactful it is on us. The thought is “why sleep for 8 hours when I can operate on 6?”
Why would I eat something I don’t like? Because I’m invested in the outcome of what kimchi will provide. See kimchi contains a rich world of microbes particularly beneficial for gut flora and intestinal wellbeing. All of which I am particularly interested in.
Who decided Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner was the standard anyway? If B/L/D doesn’t work for you, then don’t follow it. There are no hard rules for 3 meals as long as what you’re doing fits your needs for your lifestyle/activity/training demands.
Having 2-4 go-to food spots where you can still get really high quality, efficient meals while on the go is all part of turning this style of eating into a lifestyle.
