We’re about 5 weeks in at this point and will gradually begin adding foods back in starting next week, beginning with potatoes. The results? As mentioned previously, as with any habit, it gets easier with each passing week. In fact, at this point, just about all cravings are gone. I’ve come to enjoy what we’re eating, and really don’t miss any of the previous items on a daily basis. More interesting has been my body’s response to training and recovery. I was coming off an injury and have gradually built my training volume back up to the 16-20 hour/week level in preparation for beginning Ironman training on November 1st. And in spite of the significant build, I seem to be recovering more quickly and tolerating the increased volume with little lasting fatigue. Granted, that may change as I get 3-4 months into the high volume training (and add intensity), but it’s been noticeable enough that I most definitely plan to carry over the majority of this eating plan into the new season of training and track the results. Interesting…
