Yesterday I posted on Social Media that I checked my blood pressure and resting HR numbers which was 120/78 and my heart rate was 50 beats per minute at rest.

Needless to say, I was quite pleased with those numbers.  When I did triathlons in the 1980's I had my lowest resting HR of 44 bpm so now that I weigh more and I'm a lot older, I was psyched over my numbers.

I attribute it to not only my strict conditioning and strength training but also my sick-o disciplined diet for the last six months.

Now I will say this...it is NOT for everyone, and 99% aren't disciplined enough to even attempt it.  For me, it was a challenge laid down by my Holistic Doctor (real M.D. that doesn't just look at the snapshot picture and prescribe medication but gives the motion picture and lifestyle consideration and works on the big picture)

So here it is:

Reset Period  6 months

Foods to avoid-

Wheat

Oats

Corn

Dairy (butter and ghee are ok)

nuts

seeds

chips

popcorn

cocoa

alcohol

caffeine

did I say...alcohol?

sugar of all kinds including fruit and dried fruit

Fried, rich or very spicy foods

Nightshade-Solanacea family:

potato

eggplant

tomato

peppers

processed/prepared foods such as pasta or canned soups

 

Good food choices:

Lots of vegetables.  Lightly steamed is best, soups and stews are excellent

Organic meats and wild fish

wild rice (ideally wild harvest)

quinoa

millet

amaranth

avocado

seaweed

berries

coconut, sesame, or olive oil

herbal teas

Lemon/Lime or Basil water- try combining ith a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and drink in the morning and before meals.

I have since added peanut butter back into my diet and a staple when I am hungry.

I am back up to 190 lbs after initially dropping from 210 down to 185.  But that five pounds is pretty lean (according to my wife)

 

Today's Training:

AirDyne: 30 mins

Prowler: 12x50 yds

Deadlift: 30x2x50% of max

actually, it's split into half the reps done conventional and the other half done sumo style.

The idea is to move with no more than three people. (I had my training partner and myself) and to move at a faster pace than a normal dynamic day in order to get the conditioning effect.

 

Cable Ab Wheel: 3x10x40 lbs

 

Bike Commute: 27 mins

 

Run: Sprints: 10x50 yds.
