Hey man, hope you don’t mind, but I moved this to the training logs section, as that’s a bit more appropriate for it.

I appreciate your nutrition approach premised around things you won’t eat. With that: what is it that you DO eat? When do you eat it?

No problem. In the past I never really watched what I eat. Now, I am trying to eat more vegetables, a lot more meat, and eggs. Overall, just a lot more protein and foods that are going to do more good than bad.

Sounds good enough. Similar to Mark Sisson’s Primal/Paleo approach.

Works for me man. Thank you.

Welcome to TN and great to see you start a training log.

Can I ask what program this is, or is it something of your own design ?

I shaped it on my own for the most part, mostly research.
