Day Four on The Hercules Diet

Today I had a bad one.

I have never been so emotional about food before. In fact, at times I was getting downright cranky.

I had quite a full on training session today.

3 hours in the gym in total throughout the day. First I did my weights routine, followed by my bodyweight routine, then onto 25 minutes on the heavy bag. As if this wasn’t enough I decided to end that session with 25 minutes on the treadmill.

I had to cheat today. I made myself scrambled eggs (without milk) with Himalayan pink salt.

Before anyone tries to take my head off, this was after nearly passing out a couple of times and intense cramps throughout my muscle groups.

I don’t know if this was purely from the change of diet, or just not getting enough calories on my workout days?

I feel a lot chi internally, but my physical energy constantly has highs and lows. I must admit the highs are more often, but the lows are more intense.

I wonder how much of the cravings are psychological? Even after the eggs, they continued. They are mainly for meat and vegetables, I guess I need more protein.

I felt pretty damned good the rest of the day from that point on.

I am really appreciating the detox, although I am definitely ready to eat normally again!
