I’m going to start with the renegade diet next week. It says that the best time to train is before the overeating phase or dinner. Now my question is, can i train after dinner? Is it very bad or does is not really matter?
I do not know what the Renegade diet is, but personally (and most of my athletes) do not like training after a very big meal. Don’t forget one thing: the body sends mroe blood to the area that need it the most. For example, when digesting a big meal 70% of the blood is sent to the stomach and digestive system. When training the muscles receive most of the blood. So when training when a big meal is not fully digested the body is faced with two options:
-
take the blood away from the digestive system and send it to the muscles and have digestive issues, nausea and possibly pucking.
-
keep the blood in the digestive system and have a lowered performance and recovery.
So neither is optimal really.
