Nutrition Change

Maximus, I am going to take the next 30 days and change up my diet to see if I can't figure out what causes the issues with the UC. I really don't think it affects my performance all that much, just makes it difficult to stay consistent with what I am eating. Some days I go to the bathroom about 6 times before the workout, others not at all. I always seem to be chasing the cause of what causes it to get worse. Starting today, I am eliminating everything in my diet and will only eat:

Chicken or Beef
Steamed Broccoli
Avocado
Grass Fed Butter/Olive Oil

I will have 3 large meals, 3 smaller meals and 1 meal post workout. All the meals will be the same, just differ in size and protein source. I have done the math and it will come out to just under 4,000 calories a day. I am thinking that should keep my weight where it is but will monitor it closely. I am getting a dexa-scan done tomorrow which will give me the true BF numbers and lean mass numbers so I can keep on track. It won't be the worse thing in the world if I lose a few pounds...240 is not ideal for this Sport as we have talked about for the past 4 years. However, at 240, this is the best version of me as it relates to gymnastics, so 235 would make me even more proficient. 

The plan is to do this for the next 30 days and then each week, add one more food item back into the mix. This way I can figure out what is bothering my stomach. Doctors are telling me that it isn't food related but I think that's bullshit. Something I am putting in my body is messing up my gut, this seems to be the only logical way to figure that out. Again, nothing needs to change with my training, just wanted to give you my plan. Thanks to you and your bullshit Neera hazing you have had me do multiple times, this actually seems like a walk in the park....I take back all the bad things I said about you during those weeks. 

Will keep you in the loop. Until then...what the next 30 days entails
