I have been slowed down for over a year due to a broken tail bone (ouch).
Just recently, I've been trying to start a walking/jogging routine
again. I have been amazed at how much strength and aerobic conditioning
I've maintained, in spite of being way more sedentary than I'd like for
quite some time. I can't help but attribute it to the diet.
Based on many prior years of trying to get and stay fit while trying the
high-carb, sometimes vegetarian, "conventional wisdom" approaches to
diet, I can say this is a radical change from what I used to experience.
On those kinds of diets, my conditioning would always deteriorate quite
significantly in only a few weeks of relative inactivity.
I try to gauge my carb intake to muscle response to exercise. If I get
bugged by soreness or cramping I hit the bananas, melons and grapes some
more. Pint of fresh blueberries last week --- yum!
