Road to the Canadian Nationals 2019 - Carb Refeed Day

This Monday which is tomorrow as I type, I will begin my ultra low carb high protein diet that will consist of a lot of white fish, eggs, high fibre vegetables and a little bit of chicken. But this video isn't about tomorrow it's about today and what I will be eating which may seem a bit unconventional.

The main idea for today and a to some degree yesterday was to bring up my carbs for a kind of carb refeed for a few reasons. Reason number one is to see how my body reacts to the carbs, this will help me figure out how many carbs to add in when I do carb up for the GNC / ALLMAX Canadian National Pro Qualifier about 10 days from now.

Reason number two is to give my metabolism a little boast before I get into the really hard dieting and cutting, loading up on your carbs for a couple days can help jump start your metabolism especially if you have been under calorie for a while.

And reason number three, well just because carbs taste really good and getting some of my carb cravings out of my system again so I can focus on my rather strict diet over the next couple of weeks.

Join me as I show you what as day of carb refeeding looks like for me!

Road to the Canadian Nationals 2019 - 2 Weeks Out

Yet another update video for the Road to the GNC / ALLMAX Canadian National Pro Qualifier in Toronto. We are 1 day away from 2 weeks out and this is when it really starts to get serious, not that up until now I have been playing around.

Starting on Monday I will be on a very strict diet of around 2000 calories per day consisting of mainly white fish and high fiber low carb vegetables, virtually no fats and starchy carbs will be allowed. 2000 calories of this type of food is actually a lot of food and can be hard to eat but the body knows it's missing some of that good stuff and even though I will be fairly full I will start to crave carbs and fats.

Another thing that changes next week is how I will workout, because of the low calorie diet and high activity I will have less energy and will also need to be careful not to overdo it. An injury in the gym at this point would not be good. Workouts will be all about getting a good pump and burning as many calories as I can!

Other than that things are going really well and I am very happy with where I am sitting 2 weeks out from the show. This is the strongest, biggest and leanest I have been this close to a show to date.
