I am now on a most surreal diet.

While I used to take one protein shake daily except on days when I am training where I take two, I am now, on advice, beginning a new diet which consists of three shakes a day. They are not just ordinary protein shakes but they are supplemented with carbohydrate to help the bulking process. In addition, I’ve discovered the wonder of creatine, so that’s an another supplement that I take before going to the gym. And then because of all the gas that I get with the protein-supplements, I’ve now started taking bromelain which not only helps with the bloatedness but supposedly also the digestion and absorption of the protein - this, if you’re following, is a supplement for a supplement! How fucked is that…?!? All this in addition to the multi-vitamins that I already take on a daily basis. So as you can imagine… my diet consists of practically only supplements..

I am still taking 3 meals a day except that with all these shakes, I’m not as hungry at meal times as I would be, so my portions are becoming smaller. I’m also shifting to eating more vegetables and meat rather than carbs since that is already being taken care of by the supplements!

I really do have a surreal diet… It’s so 21st century…

It’s been one year since I started this whole gym business - I have just renewed my annual gym membership. Now that Mardi Gras is over, it’s time to get ready for next year’s…!
