PaleoNewComer 2011-12-12T20:31:20Z 2012-01-24T21:44:13Z <p>I'll be going on a 10 day trip to Cancun, Mexico over New Years. I'm currently pretty strict, although my food quality is poor. </p> <p>Does anyone have any tips, suggestions, comments, or experience traveling and eating in mexico?</p> <p>All I've heard is don't drink the water, and corn tortillas are okay in moderation </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/80155/too-much-fasted-training-too-much-protein Too much fasted training? Too much protein? PaleoNewComer 2011-11-29T19:37:38Z 2011-12-02T17:44:12Z <p>For the last few months I've been training fasted 3 days a week. I try to wait around a hour after waking up to train. 2 of the workouts are geared around the heavy compound movements (deads, squats, presses) and 1 day is a bodyweight crossfit workout similar to "Cindy." I generally feel a little nauseous after the workout, but I've heard that could be from the release of growth hormone. My post workout meals are generally 5 chicken breasts (4 oz each), fruit, and a plate full of veggies. I eat one other meal later that day and try to make it higher in fat. </p> <p>So far this program has worked wonders, I brought my deadlift up 100 pounds and I've been under 5% body fat for weeks. I'm living in dorms at college and the food quality is TERRIBLE, and most of my protein comes from the grilled chicken and whenever they are serving salmon. I've been eating around 2 to 3 pounds of meat per day for months. The thing is I always feel like I could keep eating, although I rarely have issues with distention, bloating, or digestive issues. Everyone always makes comments that I overeat, especially when I'm home from school and I will eat 16oz steaks or grassfed beef. I eat massive amounts of vegetables, take fish oil, 5000 IU of D per day. I feel great, sleep around 8.5-9 hours per night, testosterone is high. I don't have access to any bloodwork, although that would probably answer any questions I have. </p> <p>I'm just concerned about the nausea post workout and the massive meat consumption. </p> <p>Male 5'10 150 lbs </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/61883/overeating-mass-gain-cortisol Overeating, Mass Gain, Cortisol PaleoNewComer 2011-08-31T21:38:32Z 2011-09-11T23:44:31Z <p>So I understand that overeating leads to high cortisol, BUT when eating for a mass gain it's imperative to overeat...</p> <p>I'm going through a mass gain, and I've been eating close to 3300 calories daily, everything is going well strength wise, but I don't want to get my cortisol too out of control.

PaleoNewComer 2011-08-21T19:14:31Z 2011-08-22T14:13:01Z <p>Since beginning to eat paleo I've conquered my leaky gut, lost 20 lbs, gotten much stronger, improved my concentration, acne has cleared up, and that's just in 3 months. I'm still working on controlling an insatiable appetite though. </p> <p>After eating 1200-2000 calorie meal do energy levels drop? I've noticed a general fatigue after a heavy breakfast or dinner. It goes away over night or post workout. </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/57886/lesser-of-the-evils Lesser of the evils?

I've never had any of these problems before. I've had dairy once or twice since I was sick. I will give the probiotics more time, and stop using natural calm. Thanks for the help! </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/56074/hack-my-digestion Hack my digestion PaleoNewComer 2011-08-04T22:49:05Z 2011-08-05T02:43:57Z <p>I've been eating paleo and clean for about 3 months and I had no problems with digestion until getting food poisoning from Chipotle. After researching intensely I've started taking Primal Flora, Sisson's probiotic. I've had no noticable changes in the last couple days, and have tried Natural Calm for the second day today. Eating perfect lately, proper fat intake, fish oil concentration, drinking enough water, sleep is close to 7 hours a night. After eating I feel bloated and gross, stomach distention happens. Feel like I need to poop for hours, and when I do it's not much. After working out stomach distention passes, until I eat again. HELP ME GET BACK ON TRACK!! </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/80155/too-much-fasted-training-too-much-protein/80870#80870 Comment by PaleoNewComer PaleoNewComer 2011-12-06T20:00:08Z 2011-12-06T20:00:08Z I usually drink around 8 ounces before, 8 ounces during, and 8 ounces after. Today I doubled that amount and took a spoonful of honey before my workout and felt great. http://paleohacks.com/questions/80155/too-much-fasted-training-too-much-protein/80170#80170 Comment by PaleoNewComer PaleoNewComer 2011-12-01T18:39:16Z 2011-12-01T18:39:16Z I generally wait about an hour, takes me that long to foam roll and take a contrast shower. I used to eat a couple times a day, but the food quality is so poor here I prefer to just fill up twice per day, and I also find myself over eating if I have the opportunity to eat more than once per day. http://paleohacks.com/questions/80155/too-much-fasted-training-too-much-protein/80176#80176 Comment by PaleoNewComer PaleoNewComer 2011-12-01T18:37:20Z 2011-12-01T18:37:20Z Thanks for the feedback, I forgot to mention that on my recovery days I eat much higher in fat. I need to get some BCAA, I've been putting it off, it seems like everyone who trains fasted loves it. I will try working out later in the day too and see how that works. http://paleohacks.com/questions/59809/energy-level-after-meals/59813#59813 Comment by PaleoNewComer PaleoNewComer 2011-08-23T23:21:06Z 2011-08-23T23:21:06Z I've messed around with IFing and found it harder for me mentally and physically as well http://paleohacks.com/questions/59809/energy-level-after-meals/59916#59916 Comment by PaleoNewComer PaleoNewComer 2011-08-23T23:20:25Z 2011-08-23T23:20:25Z My carbs are generally under 50 grams per day, mostly I eat a lot of meat, I'm at college so the quality of food is pretty low http://paleohacks.com/questions/59809/energy-level-after-meals Comment by PaleoNewComer PaleoNewComer 2011-08-23T23:19:13Z 2011-08-23T23:19:13Z Yeah, and some probiotics mixed in there
