Notice you use honey everyday. Have read/heard good things about it. Have you noticed any benefit?

Nothing I can prove with science, they say local honey helps with allergies and your immune system both of which seem to improve when I have it in my diet.

For the most part, the “theys” that say this tend to be old wives tales and anecdotes. However, Alexander Cortes (part of John Meadows Mountain Dog Diet team) had some great things to say on the subject

For me, I’m a fan of it because it’s a totally unprocessed sugar that is “ancestrally appropriate”. Which is to say: we’ve been eating it as a species since, like, forever, such that our biology certainly has all the tools and mechanisms to properly process it and put it to use. If I sit down and eat a snickers bar, I’m going to be hurting, but even with a primarily carnivore diet, when I eat honey once a week, I feel just fine afterwards. No sugar crash or spike/buzz.

Will be reducing volume on main accessories to 3x10 and cardio to 2-3x 20 min sessions a week going into the next training cycle as we cut these last few lbs. Starting to get lethargic.
