What NOT To Eat. Nutrition On The Road.

I fast to the extent that I can, but being hypoglycemic, I have to have a fairly constant stream of protein in.

On the note of eating making you tired. For sure, being paid piecework, working a job that was burning up 5000 calories a day, we would only eat just enough to take the edge off. If you ate past that, your productivity would fall. If you had a big meal, might as well go home. Sent many a kids packing from having a food coma.

As far as the Jerkey goes, it's all I eat for snacking. Just gotta read the labels, you can find some quality stuff and buy it in bulk.

I drink water, milk and coffee. Mostly just water. Gatorade kills me on dropping my blood sugar.

I do protein shakes simply because I can't eat enough most days and I end up burning muscle in that state.

Cardio is over rated. I don't do any. Simply progressive overload using bodyweight lifts. Works wonders.

It depends on your goals and lifestyle. Many people think cardio is overrated because they think they'll lose weight by exercising. So the theory is that lifting weights makes you stronger and burns more energy and makes you breathe hard, so it's the better choice.

But there are a few problems with that.

For one, most people don't have a high enough fitness level to burn enough calories during exercise to matter. Someone who is 30 pounds overweight and doesn't have good fitness will be utterly exhausted before they can burn enough calories to equal one-half of a sandwich.

I always tell people that you regulate your level of fitness with exercise, you regulate your weight through eating.

I played stick and ball sports most of my life and focused on speed and strength. Over the past 6 years, I've focused on mountain sports where a high power-to-weight ratio and endurance are key to performance. I trained under a world-class coach for several years and he taught me the endurance side of sports. The education was awesome.

A strong cardio base is what gives you all-day energy. If your body is highly adapted to burn fats, you can exercise long and hard without eating anything or losing much energy or strength.

I did all of my endurance workouts in a fasted state, and got to the point that I would spend 8 hours in the mountains hiking, climbing, or skiing and wouldn't bring any food at all. I can climb several thousand feet with a 40-pound pack and return to the bottom over several hours with no breaks and no food, and I still feel great.

You could never do that without a big cardio base. All-day energy comes from cardio, not from lifting weights or interval training.

I always hired professional mountain guides to take me on big climbs when I traveled. For years they were all blown away by the fact that I don't eat all day. At first they thought I was just the classic clueless client who has no idea the mess he's getting himself into. After a few days of fantastic performance with absolutely no drop in energy and fantastic recovery, they were all VERY interested in this weird one-meal-per-day carnivore diet thing I was doing.

So it's about tailoring your fitness program to your goals and lifestyle. I blend every type of movement into my weekly routine - speed, strength, endurance, agility, and power. But my focus for the mountains is on maximizing my strength without gaining more weight and maximizing my endurance.

I fast to the extent that I can, but being hypoglycemic, I have to have a fairly constant stream of protein in.

There are tons of people who cured their sugar problems with the carnivore diet, but almost all of them admitted to transitioning too fast and causing themselves quite a bit of grief that first month. Transition slowly over a two-month period to a low-carb diet with intermittent fasting and you'll cure your sugar problems permanently. Just keep a quick shot of carbs handy that first few months in case you overdo it and need a quick shot to pick you up.

I'm not a doctor. I'm only a guy who gets incredible real-world results and I learned by doing instead of sitting in a classroom so this is not medical advice. In fact, it's much better than that. But for legal reasons, I should tell you not to listen to me at all. I'm just some random guy.

It doesn’t help either that stopping at a Pilot or Flying J every night, our options are the highly processed food they provide, Subway, or Wendy’s. Cinnabon for breakfast in the morning. I appreciate they have a partnership with them so you know there’s always SOME kind of option but it’s all so bad for you. I have found the best way to eat healthy on the road is avoid all the choices the truck stops offer and stick to keeping your fridge stocked with healthy stuff.

That's always a great option, especially with all of the appliances you can use in the truck to prepare food. The other option is to order a big steak and eggs for dinner!

Since a kid, I hated veggies didn't eat too many if I could get away with it...Back then was no such thing as salma nella poisoning lol mom always cut up the chicken. She liked her steak dang near raw, 1 minute+ each side, serve it up. She'd even eat some of the raw ground beef as she was going to make meatballs etc.

I too have ate raw hamburger, and like my steaks, and burgers medium to rare, just no blood pool on my plate, like mom liked it. I'd ask for medium rare at In & Out Burgers in Cali, but they won't do that....Yeah and we drank water from the hose and all that stuff, never getting sick from it.

Me and my buddy & his wife used to go to this '50s style diner in Victorville, Ca. for their steak dinners. The cook did it outside in a smoker / bar-b-que. He knew how I liked my steaks, since we'd been going there so long.****il their prices started getting too high) 1 night we go there, I decide to change it up and ask for my steak to be "Medium Well" When he got the order, he came to our table to verify with me if it was correct, with a look of surprise lol. Yessir ! I'm trying something different..

Yep, I'm a definite meat eater, and won't ever be a veggie mite...Shopping day, so gonna get my beef fix, when I can (it's imported from Australia about $4.50 a lb)

Like they say, no great story ever started with someone eating a salad!
