Experiments

I love to try different things and see how their implementation into my life affect me.
Mostly I experiment with food I eat and workouts I do.

I am not eating meat for the last 2 years, although I am not a vegan - I do love milk and cheese, and seafood. The significant improvement in the way how my body feels I started experience on my 3rd week (since I stopped eating meat) - maybe you know that feeling when you are about to fly? When you feel so much energy in your body so you are mentally and physically ready to go up in the air without any equipment but just in the way you are? I feel that from time to time.
Moreover, I don't want to take a nap right after my lunch - it's not a magic. :) I just don't waste my energy on meat digesting. Instead, I try to eat food that can energize me and can be easily digest.

I do believe that we are what we eat.
And I do believe that there is no rules, but the one should listen to their body.

I noticed huge changes. There was a period in my life, when I needed to sleep from 3pm-4pm. I couldn't fight it. I couldn't do anything about it. I just needed to sleep that 1 hour. No matter how many hours I slept the night before. I don't need that extra hour, after I changed my diet.

I read a lot about nutritions and food digesting. And based on everything I know by now, I can formulate the following statements that work for me:
- unprocessed food (like raw vegetables, fruits) instead of processed (pasta, pizza)
- steamed/baked/ boiled instead of fried/deep fried
- water (or green tea) instead of juices
- natural flavors (lime, lemon juices or natural sweeteners) instead of salt/sugar/mayonnaise

And if we are talking about carbohydrates and protein recommendation for those who want to lose weight then:

Carbo in the morning
Carbo and/or protein during lunch time
Protein in the evening

and workout routine!

I will share my experience with different workouts shortly.

Stay tuned! :)
