We had an interesting consensus amongst most of our clients today: “I Feel Like Shit”. These folks have been eating a clean, paleo-esque diet for anywhere from one to several months and have been feeling and performing great. Then the holidays happened. 

These folks added in a a bunch of wheat in the form of bread and stuffing, mashed potatoes, deserts of every imaginable variety…a goodly bit of booze (makes dealing with family easier…so I’ve heard) and today was pretty damn rough. It’s an interesting lesson because these folks were not sick on their previous food of good protein, fats, fruits and veggies. They feel like hell from the good-ol grains and carbs the food pyramid is built on. Interesting, no? Here were the common complaints:
Poor sleep.
High insulin levels from huge, carb laden meals cause a release in cortisol. This stress hormone disturbs sleep and begins a whole downward spiral of poor sleep, increased insulin resistance and typically more carb consumption. Here is a little more info on that topic. I do not agree with everything they have to say on the topic, but it’s pretty solid.

Pain/Inflammation

Our pain and inflammation are regulated, in large part, through a system of hormone controllers called the prostaglandins. You hear about these ever so often when a drug like Viox, which is used to regulate pain and inflammation, is found to do a silly thing like kill people. The problem is we can’t patent a low carb diet, sleep and fish oil. So drug companies and an ignorant populace continue to do a an exchange of goods and services that are…not so healthy. Folks coming in to train today reported a LOT of joint pain, lethargy and stiffness. Well, high insulin levels up-regulates the pathways which increases our pain and inflammation. Here is a look at this from the perspective of arterial degeneration and here is a look at the whole spectrum of the inflammatory process. Fascinating that our CSU Nutrition Department still recommends a high glycemic load diet, no?

So, now that we are through the Holiday season I challenge you with cutting the crap and getting back on track. Find out more about our nutritional program! Schedule a counseling session with one of our knowledgeable coaches today! 

FUN!
