Yesterday was day 3 of this crazy subsistence diet. I felt so much better after my 9-hour night’s sleep. Up at the normal time and after putting our beans for Thursday – Saturday in the Crockpot I headed to the gym. My work out started well. I felt strong… but by the end I was exhausted. I couldn’t complete my final cardio workout. This is highly unusual for me.
Could a subsistence diet affect strength and endurance after only two days? If it did, how do the millions of chronically hungry people work? (Stepping on the scale I have lost 2-3 pounds... maybe it can affect your strength and endurance that quickly.)
The day was mostly uneventful, but there was lots of food talk in and around the office and at staff meeting… It seems that this subsistence diet has many of us thinking about food more than usual.
Then as if God wanted to inject a little levity into my life, I spied a post from my son in Germany on his Facebook page: 7 euro for all you can eat at Burger King... I ate 2 double steakhouse burgers, 1 whopper, 3 king chicken nuggets, 2 king fries, onion rings, an ice cream and 3 cokes... gained 2 kg (4.5 lbs)... and feels great!
I couldn’t resist, I went to the Burger King website and calculated the that he ate 4620 calories not counting the ice cream!… 1600 more than I will eat all week!
By the time dinner rolled around at 7 pm I was HUNGRY!!! Although bland, the beans and rice satisfied my hunger and I enjoyed a movie with my wife. A good day all in all.
