I don’t think I could walk away from carbs, but I work out like a fiend. Diet’s been pretty performance-minded lately, but it’s almost always a plate of rice at lunch and a half plate around 8pm (first with chicken, second with veggies)
The timing has to be considered too. If I’m doing a balls out fast run, I prefer my stomach to be a tiny bit above completely empty. When I’m going that hard I’m not digesting well, and the wasted blood to the stomach and intestines weakens cardio. So I have to try to time my lunch fairly spot on and have nothing after. Carbs (the healthier kind anyway, not meaning processed starches) aren’t bad IMO as long as they are burned
I also do sauna 4x/week which helps keep the water retention under control. And I’m not a bitch about it, like those bro’s who only stay in a little to “get warm”. I stay in there until the puddle is at least 1.5 feet wide. If I die, I die. At least you can tell them he died doing something he didn’t really like that much
