Looking back, it's funny you mention this.
*I definately skimped on the fiber and water the past week which is likely what landed me in the hospital. Needless to say soon as I was discharged I stocked up on fiber supplements. My coach also suggested taking a probiotic.

Not enough fiber. I was slacking on my water intake last week as well so not a good combo. Going forward I've increased my fiber, am making sure I get atleast a gallon of water a day, and plan on picking up a probiotic.
I was making peace with God Wednesday night as I layed on the bathroom floor in pain. Then Thursday, after they told me they found blood in my urine I began to think to myself what am I going to do with myself if I'm forced to walk away from this so soon? I thought "Well...I like fishing...but I don't have that same burning desire for fishing as I do bodybuilding. Fishing is just to relax." LOL!
Sometimes you have to have something nearly taken away from you to realize how bad you want it.

lol I actually forgot about my comment until you brought it back up... I must be part psychic.
I eat loads of chia seeds and lemons and raw cruciferous veggies.
I make shakes with the above and toss in some raw garlic as well to add some taste. Raw garlic also contains a chemical called Allicin which elicits a hormetic response in the body that helps with reducing inflammation in your gut and aids in digestion. Adding MCT oil seems to help lube everything out of the colon as well.
Just a suggestion to get in tons of fiber in a sitting and staying regular. My digestion is pretty bad so I have to make sure I'm consuming loads of fiber. Stevia is a godsend too. Green tea and a teaspoon of stevia like 3 times a day.
I'm glad to see you're looking good and feeling better... keep killing it, dude. You can fish after your show.Last edited by Elf; 04-15-2017 at 06:55 PM.

Get Evomuse Gut Health (Probiotic) best on the market. It will clear you out easy.
You should really be getting veggies into your diet just for the fiber benefits.2013 & 2014 RX Member of the Year

Elf, thanks for the advice. I was browsing the produce section today looking at vegetables. Very interesting the different benefits they can bring. Do you follow Evan Centopani at all by chance? He's a big advocate of vegetables and spices. Definately gonna have to give that shake a try.

OFF DAY / REFEED
Weighed in at 222.8
After posing yesterday we discussed the game plan for the next few days. We both agreed I didn't need any extravagant cheat meal this week so we agreed on a high carb refeed (extra rice at each meal) and also replaced my usual beef & broccolli meal with a large steak, sweet potato, and salad just to kind of fill back out after missing so many meals on Thursday.
So a trip to Outback Steakhouse it was, for a juicy 14 oz medium rare strip, sweet potato, and a salad.Last edited by PA Kodiak; 04-16-2017 at 01:18 PM.

Psyllium Husk Powder may be a better bang for your buck for fiber.

Soluble fiber from foods such as psyllium seed husks, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. A serving of Psyllium Husk Powder supplies 6 grams of the 7 grams soluble fiber necessary per day to have this effect.

Throw in the probiotic or pysllium husk? If so it should help your bowels a ton as calories get low and bowel movements become infrequent.
