I agree with SanderP. More pictures please!
Heck, what's left....Believe it or not... have not touched red meat for 3 weeks, except for one tiny lamp shish kebab at a function.....
no dairy products, no starches...... oh god, i am becoming a hippie!! rofl
Sugar diet?...The dietary recommendations were based on Gatorade and Powerbars instead of eating proper meals before freediving...
Isn't spaghetti a refined carbohydrate, high in starch? (I just had wholewheat spaghetti for dinner -- feeling ok so far ). I tried Gatorade once - never again. Apple flavour Cytomax works better for me ... a couple of friends also prefer it. I just drink water these days. Interesting that you suggest oats, I eat breakfast cereal (Weetabix or Oatabix, semi-skim milk, no sugar) before spearfishing, or wait & eat breakfast afterwards (full English!). I don't think I would feel like eating porridge before hand though...I might give it a try though....They recommended pasta the night before, which does take away a lot of the morning hunger but also contains wheat which is high in sugar and can cause weight gain. Refined products are more acid forming, which increases fatigue and can cause cramps. Products like Gatorade and Powerbars give you instant but not sustained energy and have a very high G.I. If you are going to spend hours in the water eat earlier but have something like oats or brown rice which have a low G.I. and will give you energy and the right sugars....
"Listen to your body" is also the advice Mark Allen (6 time Hawaiian Iron man champion) gives. Great advice....I also saw about 5 or 6 blackouts/heavy sambas during the course. Be careful Morg, we dont want you going through that, watch your body and listen to it carefully. xxx Sara
