Hey guys! I thought I'd share something interesting.
For the past 3 weeks or so I stopped training. I was doing bodyweight training, but I was sleeping worse on the nights of training. I thought the body perceived it as a stress because I did not take a break in years.
Anyway, since I do not train, I demand less food. Still around 2200-2400 calories per day. In the beginning, I was eating mostly fruits with some fish and milk. I did not really crave the fish and milk, but I was kind of "forcing it" to get protein. Sleep was good, but not perfect.
The last few days I decided to experiment to listen to my signals only. I only ask for fruit, and very little milk. And when I do that, I sleep better. Weight is still stable.
How come am I not asking for animal protein? I think this will be short-term until the body asks for more protein again. But is it trying to heal itself somehow with fruits only?
