Supposed to be eating 122 grams of Protein daily. For a carbaholic, this is obscene. 70% of this protein needs to come from animal products (so nuts, beans, veggies, soy don't count) having to do with branch chain amino acids to build muscle. Supposed to be low carb and get carbs from fruits and veggies mostly. All protein supplements must be whey and must have more protein than carbs.
In addition to the restriction, I am supposed to be eating like 6 times a day, increasing caloric intake and increasing potassium intake to help with increasing protein. This is super hard with a decreased appetite.
"Sub-maximal" exercise is highly encouraged so I don't hit my glycogen stores. This means I move slow and slower LOL! Keeping my heart rate way lower than I have had in work outs in past.
Taking amino acid supplements - L-alanine, L-carnitine, Ubiquinol, DHA for omega 3's, other supplements and meds too which I personally think this should be included as a meal! LOL
