As I'm allergic or intolerant to dairy, wheat, soy and lots of artificial additives and colourings etc, I was thinking what am I going to pump up on. Was looking through foodtown the other day, as you do, and most of the yummy stuff is chocca full of colours and additives like corn starch. If I have anything with additives in it, it just makes me puffy and water just loads up around my waist (and other bodyparts) pretty quickly so I have to eat something that's unprocessed and pure.
I probably won't have too many carbs leading up to comp day but I do need some carbs in the system to fill up the muscle when I do pump up, so I've settled on some banana couple hours before the show. As bananas are a fructose, it'll take some time before it gets processed. Then I'll just have rice wafers and jam (anathot brand) which is basically strawberries and sugar and doesn't contain all the fillers of normal jam. Pretty exciting eh. Oh well better to be safe than puffy and sorry.
After the show, and when I get back, I do have a few treats I'd like to have. Yes I've been thinking about it, doesn't every competitor? I'd like to go to Chinese Yum Cha, and maybe on another day have Thai Larb Gai, then all I want is a magnum. That's about it. I'm missing all the flavours so I'm looking forward to some taste for a change. |
