Got the jitters yesterday after my 9.5mile run. Had very low sugar
levels and was slightly dehydrated. Obvious cure is to eat a banana and
re-stabilise blood sugar levels but I had already consumed my carb
macros in excess. So I made myself a salmon omelette with a side of iceberg lettuce salad instead.
I will measure my body fat hopefully today
and assess whether I have lost any body fat. This should give me a good
indication if my low carb diet is working or whether my body is resisting
and maintaining body fat for survival. If there is no change in BF I
will start carb cycling and maintain my 5 day split workout routine and continue with my
marathon training plus the extra cardio on rest days.
The only
way for me to achieve BF of 7% at this stage seems to be low carb
caloric deficit. I maintain my energy levels by consuming 70g of fat
(30% macro) per day, supplement L-Carnitine, Ginseng, Multi-Vitamins.
Recovery supplements are whey protein with BCAA's, BCAA's and
L-Glutamine. This matched with a strict diet and supplementation seems
to keep me 'fighting fit'.
Let's see how it goes. I am looking a little leaner this week.
