Exercise before breakfast

[Guest guest]

Roger,

 

I wasn't going to respond because I thought you'd already nailed it in your

previous post.

 

I echo your recommendation to get Doug Graham's book on exercise, and

particularly your suggestion about eating fruit following exercise. This is

the only approach, of which I am aware, that completely eliminates all the

" day-after " aches and pains people commonly experience. Why? The body's

supplies of electrolytes, vitamins, etc. are all replenished BEFORE the body

goes around robbing other parts of itself. So, large fruit meal within an

hour or so of physical activity, great idea.

 

Best,

Elchanan

[Raw Food] Re: exercise before breakfast

 

 

Hello,

I was really pleased to get the two messages below. Are there

any others in the group who are athletes, or seriously interested in

fitness? I would like to hear about your experience regarding diet

and your physical performance.

 

I do some running - strictly non-competitive. I don't run every day,

but usually several times a week. Usually 3 miles, often more,

occasionally a lot more (maximum so far - 15 miles). Always before

breakfast!

 

Regards

Roger Rowan

I've heard 1,000 times that the BEST raw book for athletes on

when/what to eat is THE THRIVE DIET by Brendan Frasier. It's super

popular and is one of the best.

I go for a 5 mile run every morning before I eat anything. Is this a

bad thing? Should I eat fruit before I go? I don't feel hungry until

after I've had my run. If I should have something, what should I have

and how much?

 

thanks,

What a great question. I would love opinions on this too. Until I

hurt my hip and back, I was swimming a mile to a mile and a half a

day. I made myself eat a banana on the way to the pool (about 5:30

a.m.) I wasn't really ready to eat yet but forced myself because I

thought my body needed it. Quite often I was burping it up while

swimming. My husband thought it was because of the body position in

the water. I think I just wasn't ready to eat.

Hey - I just wanted to say that I will be doing a six month fruitarian

stint while in Thailand next year at a heavy-duty muay-thai fighting

camp (working out up to 6 hours a day, 6 days a week, in the tropics).

So I was glad to read this and hope it's totally true! Pineapples are

40 cents in Thailand. Could there be any better news in this world?

LOL. I know there is durian there, which I will TRY again, but it's

hard to enjoy your food when you have to keep reminding yourself that

the smell that cropped up around you is NOT a gas leak in your home

and that you do NOT need to worry. LOL! I will be doing superfoods

while there, so it won't be natural hygiene, but I'll keep a blog.

Anyways, this was good to read - thanks! Erica

Someone asked if there were other “athletic” folks on the list; yes,

 

I’m very physically active, much of it in the “athletic” arena.

 

I’ve been following Doug Graham’s recommendations in his book

 

Since Elchanan suggested it to me sometime in later ’04 or early ’05.

 

Prior to doing that I was heavily into the NSAIDs (non-steroid, anti-

 

Inflammatory drugs….), eating them almost like candy or cough drops.

 

 

 

Now, I follow Doug’s recommendations almost every single time

 

I do longer physical movement. My primary choices for activities

 

These days are tennis (2-4 hours, 3-5X/week), biking (road and trail:

 

1-2 hours, 1-2X/week), walking, jogging, rebounding…etc…etc…

 

 

 

Not only does it allow me to exercise/compete on an almost

 

Totally “pain-free” basis, it also allows me to effectively compete

 

With people close to half my age (I’m 56)

 

 

 

I can’t recommend the book, and more importantly the ideas,

 

Highly enough.

 

 

 

Best,
