4EyedandFit Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Ok, so I'm just starting the W30 plan and today is Day #1. Question is, what do I do or can I do for pre-workout energy and post workout recovery? I definitely know why protein shakes are out, but I'm not trying to lose tons of bulk. Any suggestions?

GoJo09 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 If you Google pre workout Whole 30, you'll find stacks of threads around this. But the basic template is: protein and fat before, protein and carbs after. So you could have tuna in oil before and then chicken breast and sweet potato after and you'd be set.

Brewer5 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 but I'm not trying to lose tons of bulk. I just wanted to reassure you that ~the absence of protein powder~ will not make you lose bulk. Eat plenty of real, whole food, and enjoy looking in the mirror each day and seeing that your muscle is not wasting away without a highly-processed, packaged product that we have (somehow?) been made to believe that you can't build muscle without. I am on Day 28 of my 2nd Whole 30 and I can confidently say that I have gained muscle each time. My big bag of expensive, grass-fed whey protein is finally in the trash, by the way. Forever. It took me awhile... but I got to a point where I realized it really has no good place in my life, and we needed to break up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
