Subject: circadian rhythm I recently read a book called the "Circadian Prescription" it was written in 2000. It makes a lot of "scientific sense" (disclaimer: I was a psych major, I really know nothing about science! ).
The book makes the argument that we should eat mainly protein until about mid day then switch to mainly carbs, we should also reduce our caffeine intake - a bit of a no brainer! Or at least not intake caffeine until after 4 pm. It professes that our bodies are better able to process certain types of foods at different times of day or different times of our natural "cycle".
The plan does not change what you eat...just when you eat it...assuming you start with healthy eating habits. (which we all have...right! )
I wanted to throw it out there and see if any one on BT follows this nutritional plan. If so how does it affect your training if at all. |
