Week 3 Day 5

Had a great night sleep last night.  While I diet towards my show I separate my entire Carb and protein intake.  If you’ve noticed I’ll eat really high protein, some fat, and greens for fiber 7 times a day.  The last meal of every 3rd day, however (so every 21st meal) I Carb load with only greens, carbs, and fats but no protein.  Again, every philosophy is different but by limiting my carbs for the 1st 20 meals and spiking my Carb intake on the 21st meal helps me to keep my body burning, especially when my body fat gets in to the single digits.  It doesn’t allow my body to get accustomed to the calories intake.  This helps my body to continually burn my body fat for energy rather than store it.  The body is an amazing machine!  That is something that also drives me to train and diet the way I do.  The fact that your body can be transformed if you treat it right never loses its effect.
This doesn’t mean that some days don’t suck.  In fact this past week or so I’ve really had to dig deep through my workouts and even the dieting.  Some days I’m just like,”F*@# it all!” I especially feel like this as I get into the end of the 2nd day and 3rd day before my Carb load, but I breath deep and take it one day at a time.  I had my Carb load last night so I feel pretty good this morning.  Please remember in the off season I don’t recommend a “No Carb” diet, because Carbs are brain food and good Carbs are great for your health.  But for my training this is what takes my body from soft to competition shape.
