« on: May 29, 2019, 11:34:47 pm »As mentioned the other day. Body felt like rubbish the day after the game. Noticed something pretty ridiculous today. I've been "eating clean" the last couple of days. When I say clean I mean proper clean. Low-ish carb, decent protein, moderate fat. Still been having a big bowl of porridge at night to try and get the carbs up. My body the last 2 days has almost felt like a permanent cramp and really just horrible. Really a lot through the hips and back. Also massively in the ankles. I just assumed I had over done it on the weekend or really put myself through the wringer on the court. I just had 4 eggs on 2 decent slices of sourdough bread with 3 florentines on the side. Sitting back at my desk and I just realised there's almost no pain. Feels like I've just dropped a couple of hard pain pills. There's some stiffness still there but as for actual pain...not much. Crazy!
i've had the *EXACT* same thing happen to me, several times (i've journaled it).
i've come to realize it's not the protein, but it's the saturated fat/cholesterol which "fixes" you. Just like you, trying to eat "clean" (lol) - no dairy & infrequent meat/eggs, i eventually start feeling incredibly weak & achy, then I can't take it anymore and I eat eggs or a steak -> and i'm back on track. Whole milk also does the trick for me. I've been eating alot cleaner lately, but getting in my milk, so i feel fine. I've had chicken/meat like twice in 2 weeks but feel great.. because i'm getting in that whole milk. Without it i'd be wrecked. I've been thinking about getting eggs again but i'm just too "lazy" at the moment, don't feel like making them. But they really are the truth when it comes to nutrition IMHO.
Damn that's crazy. I'm going to have to track this properly. I feel like when I try to eat clean I end up in purgatory by not doing either thing well. I can live off meat and eggs though. Sounds like the perfect diet to me lol.
I'm going to have to check your journal too. It's about the third time it's happened to me but I never realise till it's too late.
ya it's interesting.
i'll try to find my journal entry about it tmw. i think i know where it is. i recall the latest one being about 1.5 years ago or so.
