It works this way.
If your cortisol comes down since you have enough aminos. This allows potassium to be high in the cell. When potassium is high your metabolism is high.
When metabolism is high your copper is used, since it converts dopamine into noradrenaline. and adrenaline to blow out the Co2.
Now you cant tolerate carbs, since you cant blow out the Co2. since you have very little adrenaline.
this is why you crashed from stress. Stressed caused adrenaline to go up and then you simply did not have enough of it.
You need to eat balanced diet now
1) moderate salt with potassium and magnesium foods
2) good protein source to get your iron b12 b2 zinc magnesium copper up( spinach , beef, pork) could take it with a little bit of HCL like 2 caps
3) good source of b vitamins
4) water
This should restore you .
And if you do ever compete. You need to support digestion. there is no way your digestion will match your training. NO WAY
@gbolduev i am already doing since december:
nr. 1 - i eat an entire bag of spinach(magnesium), kale, celery, watercress every day plus potassium cream-soup which is zuchinni+parsley+celery+sting beans, gives me 500mg potassium per cup of soup and I sprinkle salt on them)
nr 2 and 3 - i eat about 300-400g/day of RAW grass finished beef or lamb PLUS
I add 30- 60g of raw beef liver (liver is like a natural multi vitamin/mineral complex, it provides
ALL the vitamins and all the minerals in bioavailable-NATURAL form)
i also DRINK at least 12 raw eggs per day
i also drink 500- 1000ml raw milk kefir or raw milk/day
i also eat 2- 4 caps of kelp powder/day for the iodine and other minerals
nr. 4- i drink at leas 2 liters of pure (distilled) water/day to which I add 1 tsp. of sea salt
as u can see the food I eat DAILY is the most nutrient dense food you can get on this planet... the only thing i dont do YET is the HCL and fish
speaking of HCL, i began researching the HCL therapy u posted about... i found some forum, people are taking liquid battery acid(pure 35% hydrochloric acid) diluted in water for digestion and also topically with amazing results (also rectally as an enema and also as IV!)....
many people say that betaine-HCL is like nothing compared to this stuff... one guy puts 10 drops of 35% HCL in 250ml distilled water and drinks it during/after meal...
35% HCL liquid is dirt cheap and apparently way more effective than betaine-HCL
i miss sooo much my carbs
