-Rest Day-
Some things I noticed about yesterdays Carb Load.. I felt great after my first three meals.. They were made up mostly of starchy carbs.. I did have some Oatmeal and Honey but felt normal after that meal just really full. Then later in the day I had some gluten free French toast covered in Syrup and I really noticed a difference in my energy levels.. I had a big spike right after that meal and then about a half hour later I got a little sleepy and foggy headed.. Can't really describe the feeling, just strange.. This morning when I woke up I felt great.. Was still a little sleepy (nothing a Venti Espresso can't fix) but when I looked in the mirror I actually looked lean and not puffy.. So my thinking is I handled the carbs well and ate just the right amounts of Glucose vs Sucrose vs Fructose. So all in all this carb load was a success.. Going to continue to monitor my mood and energy levels today as I shift back to Hight Fat Low Carb and also note my strength in the gym tomorrow morning. May even do a little cardio after work to kick into depletion mode.
