Dave Schumaker said:Ok, Day 1 of attempting to resolve this issue:
Here is what I consumed:
1/2 scoop whey protein
4 oz orange juice
south beach high protein cereal bar
plenty of water
Mylanta (this was a new addition)
this was done about 1 hr. before starting.
Dude, why consume anything, even? In Army PT, you work out for an
hour doing calisthenics and cardio before even getting to within ten
minutes of breakfast...I think you might just limit yourself to the
protein shake and juice. Unless you have other physical conditions,
like being a natural weakling (no shame in that, BTW; we all have
different strengths and weaknesses), you should be all right with just
a bit of a protein shake and (real) fruit juice.

overextending myself.
I had to stop, dry heave once (no ejection as usual). I immeadiately
felt better and continued with the cardio circuit training. I felt
ok, so I pushed myself even harder than the previous day and I had no
further dry heaving.
Maybe your body is finally adapting to it all??
Quoted message said:Someone said it could be a lack of potassuim and suggested I go back
to eating more banannas. When I used to do this, I don't ever recall
having issues with dry heaving. I think I might try this tomorrow
with the same routine.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
I guess you're one of those folks who are particularly sensitive to
vitamin and mineral deficiencies...try it and do report back. I'm
also very curious what might be the matter.
Quoted message said:Oh BTW, I am attempting to shed body fat and build some muscle. I'm
currently @ 17% body fat and it isn't pretty. I'm following the
Weight Watchers plan for my diet.
It's not simply body fat percentages but also "fat distribution,"
which affects how the fat looks on you. I'm at anywhere between
15-20% bodyfat (http://taipei.craigslist.com.tw/rnr/461503435.html)
but most people are shocked as hell to hear that I'm 240 pounds at
only 5'11"....
