So my buddy has been twisting my arm about dropping gluten and dairy from my diet. I dropped dairy first about 2 months ago, and honestly havent missed it. I then dropped gluten about 2-3 weeks ago and although it was harder dropping the gluten really made the biggest difference.
Its part of a bigger overhaul that I am going through now that he has his doctorate and is focusing on alternative medicine. I am one of his first patients.
Anyway to cut it short in terms of gym performance I seem to be having a huge jump. Before this I would get lactic acid buildup in my muscles before really getting winded. Its the sort of lactic buildup and burn out you hear about when guys are going too hard trying to finish a guy with a guiliotine or something and they burn their arms out. I used to get this across my whole body while grappling and even sparring.
I just dont get the burnout to this level any more. My muscles do get tired and I do get winded like everyone else, but it takes longer and my recovery time is MUCH quicker theres no more gasping for air waiting for the lactic burn to leave your muscles.
The other major benefit performance wise is reduced inflamation. I feel this in my joints big time. I had chronic shoulder inflamation. Reaching behind my back with my right arm used to really hurt my shoulder and my knees would be sore after a hard night, especially when standing up from sitting for a while.
I just generally felt older than my 27yrs would indicate. I felt more like 47. Now I can tell you my body can finally keep up with my gym schedule.
Other nice benefits I noticed:
Loss of weight - especially in wierd areas that seemed stubborn before, like face, neck and love handles
I can breath through my nose finally!! (this was actually one of the real reasons I started the diet)
I would also say more consistent energy through the day (but I am still stuggeling with this)
Overall I suggest everyone at least try it, it usually only takes a week or 2 to see if your sensitive to gluten.. I wish I knew this years ago
