Lean muscle mass, hypertrophy, and nutrition – an experiment
1) Its been a while since I have visited the gym (corona closure) and one the most obvious result of this is much less load (majorly therabands) in training. Much less training times/days as well.
Muscle mass – increased.
Submission: Lean muscle mass is not just a result of load as it is misunderstood to be. I have build it using bands – more eccentric training
2) Nutrition – I stayed on a high protein, high fiber diet for almost 8 weeks. Its been 3 weeks or so since I have been on mixed diet of high carb and high fat.
Weight loss – Yes
Energy system – is working great like earlier. No fatigue.
Nutrition – superb
Submission: A healthy metabolic machinery can be achieved through various macronutrients, including carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. While proteins have a unique role, a high protein diet can also serve as a fuel source for the body, converting to glucose or fat for energy. Proper nutrition complements our physical abilities, aiding in building a robust metabolic system.
Just how training compliments our physical ability if it suits our requirement; our food substrate that we ingest helps us build a robust/flexible metabolic machinery.
Shuttling between the food substrates, just like training, seems to be the best way to keep our gut microbiome healthiest.
