How quickly thing change
So, it’s been a few weeks now since I started eating more and trying to gain and so I thought I’d share some of my observations. The first of which is how surprised I am at how quickly I’ve noticed these changes. I hear and have read before but to truly experience isis something else.
First of all, the classic cliche of how quickly your stomach capacity and appetite adjusts. Literally a month ago I bought a large pizza, had just over half for dinner and the rest for lunch the next day and it was two filling meals. This was washed down with my previous fav of water. Now, just last night I ordered a large pizza and 1.25ml Coke on the way home from work from uber eats and I still stopped by kfc on the way home for a 5 tender combo meal and finished everything
Secondly, how my appetite has changed/my tolerance for foods. I find myself craving greasy fatty foods so much and after eating them super sweat things. And before if I had takeaway for more the one meal in a day I’d be left feeling sick. Now it’s like my stomachs doesn’t care about the grease. Also I used to get say a large kitkat bar and if I tried to have more then 4 fingers it would be too sweet and my mouth would feel yuck and it sucked so bars used to last a week. Now I can eat chocolate bar on the drive home from the supermarket.
Finally is how quickly you lose your fitness. Before, I was fit as a fiddle, could go for runs whenever I wanted, nothing really made me puffed besides sprinting. Now, I notice how much more I can hear myself breathing especially after going up stairs. It’s not out of breath or anything yet but I can feel my heart hammering in my chest and hear myself breathing. Also, as an avid Garmin watch wearer I know my resting heart rate has been increasing, I used to have a crazy low one because of my fitness. Now it’s nearing a more normal level
Anyway, if you made it this far, thanks for reading and I look forward to sharing more
