    A good Leg/Glutes session today. First time doing this after my few day’s break, but strength was good and I matched previous numbers from my last session, so happy with that.

    I’ve had a pretty busy afternoon of clients since. The competitive season will soon be kicking off, so the work is beginning to ramp up.

    Seated Ham curl x3
    Belt Squat x2
    Single Leg Leg press x2 each Leg
    Glute drive x3
    GHR x3
    Sled pushes 2 x 2 lengths, Sled pulls 2 x 2 lengths.

    With Gastritis the key is to avoid anything that may irritate the stomach lining eg. acidic, spicy, fatty, fried, high sugar and processed foods, as well as caffeinated drinks. You want to eat pretty bland, plain and low fat foods such as lean meats, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low fat greek yoghurt and only use the purest whey Isolate if you want to use a protein powder. Also drink plenty of water throughout the day.

    I had a client with gastritis who found supplementing with Glutamine, Deglycyrrhizinated licorice and Zinc Carnosine beneficial.

    I think slippery elm could be good for the gut lining too.

    Clare thank you very much,it means a lot for me! it is clear what i have to do. I think i also have a problem with oats and whole wheat bread,so that is going to go out! sticking to COR,turkey,chicken and stuff like that! Thank you again[/quote]

    I agree with Ryan, increase calories by 3-500 a day and see how your body responds. You can then add more food/decrease output as needed to see a slow, steady gain from here.

    A busy rest day of work, running errands, getting an eye test, a bit of shopping and some cardio.

    I still have a few jobs to tick off the ‘To-do’ list before I’m done for the day, but it’s slowly getting shorter and I’m feeling accomplished 🙂

    If this is a constant problem and you eat the same meals every day, then you need to change something. You’re going to have to do a process of elimination to find the triggers.

    Make sure you are using the purest Whey Isolate, like ISO Pro or switch to the TBJP Vegan Protein.

    Here is what I would try:

    15g Glutamine on wake

    M1 Eggs, Sourdough bread, avocado

    M2 Chicken, Rice, pineapple, green veg (Spinach/asparagus/green beans)

    M3 Cream of Rice, ISO Pro, blueberries, coconut oil (Pre workout meal)

    Intra Workout: 5g Creatine, one serving EAAs

    M4 Cream of Rice, ISO Pro, raspberries (Post workout meal)

    M5 Turkey/White fish, Potato, EVOO, green veg (Spinach/asparagus/green beans).

    If you’re still experiencing issues, then I would next try eliminating the eggs.

    The question is, do you ‘Need’ 400g of carbs a day. You could easily get that in if you switch up your sources, use rice based products, jams, honeys, fruits and an intra workout carb, but you may not need that amount of food for your goals. Yes, carbohydrates are a source of energy, but you need to also look at the rest of your diet and timings of certain foods. I would remove the ham and bacon and replace with more quality meats such as turkey breast, chicken breast or reduced fat beef mince. Switch the cheese out for avocado/whole eggs/almond butter/oils. Try Cream of Rice in place of the Oats.

    What is the scale doing on this amount of food? What is your body composition looking like? Are you wanting to cut or gain right now?

    Thank you for the tips.

    The only reason I use oatmeal is for the fiber, as it helps with digestion. I’m currently eating a mix of cream of rice and oatmeal to improve consistency and digestion.

    Questions about my body weight and other details, I’ve already mentioned them in previous posts above.

    If that digests well, then no problem. Do you have any current physique pictures you can post? We’d be able to better advise on what to do next if we can see how you’re looking.[/quote]

    Here is a link to my current physique. As I am looking at it, I look terrible. More informarion about me: 93,3kg, 194cm https://imgur.com/a/1AMoLC8[/quote]

    I would run a cut. Get your bodyfat down and start a slow and steady gaining phase from a leaner start point. This will likely also sort out your digestion, appetite and efficiency in utilising the foods you eat.

  • Rest up. It will be counterproductive to train while your body is unable to recover and you’ll likely prolong the illness if you do. Plus you’ll be risking passing on the virus to others at the gym, which isn’t fair.

    Wait until you feel better.

    I would taper off and then switch to using 1 cap INSURE per 50g carbs in all high carb meals, apart from post workout.
