RE: The Unapologetic Pursuit Of International Glory And Recognition
Lol yeah I was so full from those two caps of ground up herbs, was hard to do my daily four mile runs and two hour Muay Thai workouts. You’re so right. /s
I also love yoga but the point of this was to see if I could still keep pace with workouts that are highly aerobic. Next time I’m going to eat some potatoes or something bc I was dead for a few of the days.
Good luck with the fast though. Do you know about the snake diet guy or are you just into fasting?
I heard from you the first time about the snake diet. I’m generally into fasting. I had tremendous performance boosts while on Nun Amen Ra’s amen diet, a vegan caloric restricted diet to 1500 calories, supplemented, with a 1 hour feeding window, 4-5 hour trainings daily, hard and highly aerobic bodyweight trainings till exhaustion with additional handstand drills towards one arm handstand, scorpion push ups, drop the hammer, that kind of stuff, were the norm and I still could go on, only stopping myself from training more because of questioning myself if this is still healthy :)
And believe me i’m not talking about yin-stile yoga you probably believe I’m doing (which I do too on regenenerative days or additionaly). I trained muay thai myself, was national champion in bjj, I know how to sweat and ashtanga yoga is as aerobic as it gets, probability on par with those trainings, maybe peak exhaustion is not as high but in those 90 minutes there is not much of a rest and it slowly but surely wears you down.
On my 7.5 distilled water fast I was training too, street workout and running, my experience was the same as yours, performance suffered, but it gets better after the first 3 days. After the fast I a had a nice surge of energy and my running improved a lot.
There is a nice story in paul bragg’s book the miracle of fasting where he goes on a 30 mile hike with 9 college athletes in Death Valley, being on a fast and just drinking pure and not chilled water, while they had their salt tablets, food and all that chilled electrolyte stuff you are talking about. First 3 of them threw up, became pale and dizzy and quit. Then 5 became stomach cramps and puked and were driven home. Finally the last one collapsed under the burning sun and had to be rushed for medical care. He camped over night and hiked back the 30 miles the next day, again only pure water, felt great and doctors found him in perfect condition. He is debunking the myth that the body needs additional electrolytes in times of excessive sweating.
Wow. Interesting. Can I get some links to all that good stuff or are you going to make me do some googling?
This guy:

Information is a little cumbersome to obtain from his site via donation, I got like 7 pdfs which are part of a book of biblical dimensions which he will release eventually, sadly there seems to be a minimum to donate now, but worth every penny and a well of scientific information, he consumes only 30g protein while being really buffed...

he has a doctor in public health, studied in biology and is world record holder in dead lifting, so not only lip service but lived by himself for over a decade.
I never was as rigourus as him, but had a few disciplined phases of a couple of months, never looked better. Before this the warriors diet and a raw vegan diet were the best for me for having a lot of energy, after trying it all from paleo, slow carb, atkins and 80/10/10 either with fruits (lots of energy but insane volume of food and being bone dry) or starches as main carb source.
Yeah I actually looked him up after reading your comment. Not gonna lie, seems a bit shady. When I was broke I used to eat pancakes for 3 meals a day and was still jacked, so I believe you can build mass while on low protein. But the guy has a weird suicide cult vibe to me that I'm just not sure about. I'll dig into it a little bit more. What are the odds I can get those PDFs from you?
Yeah I was also raised with the 1g of protein per pound fitness bro-science:
You may not become the next Phill Heath, but through the intermittent fasting your growth hormone production spikes. Supplementing with up to 150g protein just made me sluggish and bloated.
For the pdf’s, you insulted my cult leader 😂 I made the mistake to judge a book by its cover too often sometimes they turned out to be the most brilliant minds I had the pleasure to meet.
